That stuff is only for using Swarm, which is nice but you did not

That was all you needed.

You needed to start again with a fresh source tree!  You are just  
reusing the libraries you compiled with the previous compiler, which  
is why the problem has not gone away.

-lcc_dynamic won't work with gcc-4.  It solves the problem if you are  
using gcc-3.3 with g77.  I have been asking Simon to change the  
documentation to make this more clear.  You must use either gcc-3.3  
with g77, or gcc-4 with gfortran as you will find in my compiler.
