Problem with new release of Fortran compiler on RS/6000

[Wendy Ross]

Anyone else noticed a problem with newer Fortran compiler/library 
when linking?  skylab is running the older version; the program compiles 
and links happily.  elvedore is running the newer version; the compiler 
bombs out at link time with unresolved symbols.  The reason is that the 
/usr/lib/libxlf.a library was changed between the two versions.  When I 
took the older version of the library and used it with the newer version 
of the compiler, things worked fine.

The nitty gritty details are as follows:
