Agreed. One could (maybe) write a macro for this but it would be way too specialized. Just removing the over-ride should enable the user to specify it; most cluster sysadmins should have this posted or one can use the ifort linking guide.
N.B., I would test myself, but at least on the cluster where I have PWSCF installed it complains that at configure.ac:30 the language is set as C not Fortran. This might be a bug in the autoconf I have there or real -- getting the language set right is a pain and I've had problems with this in the past for other code.
