If you look at the current configure.log - its after fortran compiler
detection.
Currently the dependencies [for PETSC_ARCH] are:
self.petscdir = framework.require('PETSc.utilities.petscdir', self)
self.languages = framework.require('PETSc.utilities.languages', self)
self.compilerFlags = framework.require('config.compilerFlags', self)
so it need to get that far before PETSC_ARCH can be set/used..
