Hi all,
I think it would be helpful if the release notes were clarified and the
configure help statement were updated to better describe the new
behavior of creating separate Fortran libraries by default.
The release notes mention the change to:
"Build shared libraries by default, requiring separate Fortran
library. Static libraries now built only with --disable-shared."
but do not note that a separate Fortran library is now the default for
static only builds as well.
The configure script help still lists --enable-separate-fortran as an
option (noting that the option is enabled automatically with shared
libraries).
Perhaps this option should either be replaced with
--disable-separate-fortran (noting that it is only available for static
only builds) or removed completely since it appears from discussions
last week that including fortran libraries in the C library won't be
allowed soon.
