 We are mostly suggesting PKGSRC_FORTRAN=gfortran for all these bugs and
 I feel like it would be better to make it a default. g95 is old and not
 worth the effort.
 
 g95 doesn't build on debian in general for some issues (there's a few
 bug reports for it).
 
 I would also try GFORTRAN_VERSION=6 because ppc64le is new so the
 default of gcc 4.8 may be too old.
 
 For completeness, the current log doesn't seem to mention the actual
 error, so hard to work with.
