Note that --disable-fc is also given along with '--disable-f77’ and '--disable-f90’ for backward capability. If configure is intended to be scriptable (as opposed to always run by hand by someone) should it really error out in this situation. Now my script that runs configure on MPICH needs to be super complicated and try different options based on the version of MPICH etc etc. We should make sure we don’t error PETSc stuff out for silly reasons like this.
