[Clp] configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails

[Emerson]

Thanks Ted,
I just solved this problem with one of my colleagues. The reason is : in
configure file in CoinUtils, one of the parameters we pass when configuring
gcc is --with-host-libstdcxx='-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.4
-lstdc++', that last single quote mark is the killer.
I revised the configure file in Coinutils, 5085 line,
-FLIBS="$ac_cv_f77_libs"
+FLIBS=$(echo $ac_cv_f77_libs | sed "s/'//")
And now the build is successful.
Just wan to report this little typo and you guys may fix that.

Thanks again,
Emer
