Hello Dennis,

thanks for the report.

The log indicates that the failures are purely due to 32 vs. 64 bit
objects.  If you set FFLAGS and FCFLAGS such that the Fortran compilers
produce 64 bit code as well, the failures should go away.

I'm not sure how the Autoconf testsuite could detect this automatically
and skip the testing in that case; it's probably safer to leave this
error in and require users to adjust flags.

Cheers,
Ralf
