The fly in the ointment here is that netCDF configuration does not seem
to like -fast.
To be more specific, it doesn't like -ipo (which seems to be part and
parcel of -fast). To be even more specific, configuring netCDF with -ipo
gives the following fatal error:
<snip>
...
checking NM... /usr/bin/nm
checking NMFLAGS...
checking for /usr/bin/nm... /usr/bin/nm
checking nm flags...
checking for C-equivalent to Fortran routine "SUB"... configure: error:
not found
This problem seems to be related to -ipo in particular, not to -ipo in
combination with the other flags implied by -fast, because if I try
"-ipo -O3", I get the exact same error. (Compare with -ip -O3, which
works OK.)
Unless there's a workaround I've missed here, I'd therefore caution
against using -fast in the configure script as the default.
Cheers,
Ben
