Patrick, could you try again? There were problem with AC_LANG which
might be responsible. Compared to the two days old Autoconf, the only
significant difference I see is:
/tmp % diff configure.old configure.new -u -I '^#' -I 'as_me:' nostromo 15:07

rm -f cf77_test* conftest*])
AC_LANG_POP(Fortran 77)dnl
i.e., the *old* Autoconf was wrong and was missing one AC_LANG here
(not that it matters at all in the present case).
So I do expect your Fortran 77 compiler to be diagnosed again as
broken.
