We also typically use a similar combination
(gcc+ifort, gcc+pgi, gcc+xlf90); sometimes it is not justified;
OTOH, we don't have xlc/gfortran/g95 on pwr5 machines so that
gcc+xlf90 is the only option there. OTOH2: I am perfectly
okay with editing the *.h by hands (or keeping several .h around)
so that IMHO the configure script is unneeded.
Have a nice day,
