Hello Yvan,

thanks for the report.

How exactly do you invoke configure, what is your compilers' name?
The Libtool macros currently detect compiler base names of

  pgcc* | pgf77* | pgf90* | pgf95*
  pgCC* | pgcpp*

as Portland compilers (yes, the matching by name is really ugly, but
it's really hard to do better with some compilers).

Thanks,
Ralf
