Huh... it would appear that your /usr/local/xlf/bin/mpif77 does not
like it when .f files use C for comments.   We use C for comments all
over the place, so I'm not sure what's wrong here.   We also use the
xlf compiler (version 10) on our BlueGene and have reports of xlf
working ok on some IBM SP machines, so I'm not entirely sure what
is different about your situation and why we don't handle it.

Well, one solution would be to remove the comments from
src/libf/strerrorf.f and also src/libf/inq_libversf.f and see how far
you get.  Is there a compiler option for xlf to handle different
comment styles?
