Autoconf 2.53 (via autoconf.m4f) considers 'fc' to be a candidate when searching for a FORTRAN compiler. Unfortunately, 'fc' conflicts with a Korn-shell related program found under SVR4-derived systems, or other systems providing the Korn shell:
DESCRIPTION /usr/bin/fc The fc utility lists or edits and reexecutes, commands pre- viously entered to an interactive sh. When the system does not have any other FORTRAN compiler installed, configure selects 'fc' as the FORTRAN compiler: F77 = fc even when fc is actually the program from the Korn-shell.
