 Hello,

 We are trying to build ipopt (v3.12.3) with openmpi
 (v1.6.4-5.el7.x86_64)in RHEL 7 but the configure is failing with the below
 error.

 checking for dummy main to link with Fortran libraries... unknown
 configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails
 See `config.log' for more details.
 configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for ThirdParty/Mumps
 configure script failed
 easwaraa at sandbox02.nyc:/tmp/easwaraa/ipopt>

 I see errors like these in the config.log:

 configure:2496: /usr/bin/gcc -c -O3 -m64 -g -I/usr/local/pkgs/Ipopt-
 parallel-3.12.3-d1/include conftest.c >&5
 conftest.c:2:3: error: unknown type name 'choke'
    choke me
    ^
 conftest.c:2:3: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' at
 end of input


 configure:23366: configuring in ThirdParty/Mumps
 configure:23483: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=/usr/local/pkgs

 parallel-3.12.3-d1' '--exec-prefix=
 configure:23488: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for ThirdParty/Mumps

 Attached the config.log for reference.

 Our gcc version is 4.8.3 20140911:

 /usr/bin/gcc --version

 The configure options we used are:

 ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX  --exec-prefix=$PREFIX --bindir=$PREFIX/bin
 --sbindir=$PREFIX/sbin --sysconfdir=$PREFIX/etc --datadir=$PREFIX/share
 --includedir=$PREFIX/include --libdir=$PREFIX/lib
 --libexecdir=$PREFIX/libexec --mandir=$PREFIX/share/man
 --infodir=$PREFIX/share/info --build=x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu --host=x86_64

 MPIF77=/usr/lib64/openmpi/bin/mpif77 --with-blas-incdir=/usr/include
 /openmpi-x86_64 --with-blas-lib="-L/usr/lib64/openmpi/lib -lscalapack
 -lmpiblacs" ADD_CFLAGS=-fopenmp ADD_FFLAGS=-fopenmp ADD_CXXFLAGS=-fopenmp

 The same configure options works fine in our RHEL6 hosts. (where we use
 gcc 4.4.7 20120313).

 Any thoughts on why are we facing this issue in RHEL7?

 Let me know if you need any additional information.
