- Compiling Fortran programs using the mpi_f08 module on PowerPC with
the PGI (tested 17.5) or XL (tested v15.1.5) Fortran compilers and GNU
linker after 2.25.1 and before 2.28 will likely experience runtime failures.
This was noticed on Ubuntu 16.04 which uses the 2.26.1 version of ld by
default. However, this issue impacts any OS running the impacted
version of ld. This GNU linker regression will be fixed in version 2.28.
Below is a link to the GNU bug on this issue:

The XL compiler will have a fix for this issue in their next release.

libtool misidentifies properties of f95/g95, leading to obscure
compile-time failures if used to build Open MPI. You can work
