Sorry, it inherits it from libmpi.la. I hate libtool.
To be fair, Libtool actually does a pretty darn good job at a very complex job. :-)
These corner cases are pretty obscure (mixing one vendor's fortran compiler with another vendor's C compiler) and admittedly are not handled properly by Libtool. But one has to ask: what exactly *is* the Right Thing to do in this scenario in a general case? It's a pretty hard problem to solve...
FWIW, I did post this issue to the Libtool bug list. -- Jeff Squyres Cisco Systems
