Oddly, it wouldn't work even with the CPPFLAGS set (I tried setting CFLAGS
too just to be sure). I'm thinking it must be gremlins of some sort :-).
Meanwhile, I've bitten the bullet and upgraded myself to PGI 10.0-1 and
things seem to be compiling happily now for 1.4.1rc1.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!
