Please see PR #246700 for details, which is about updating the default version
of GCC from 9 to 10.

  checking whether Fortran 77 compiler processes .F files with C
preprocessor... yes
  checking whether gfortran10 allows mismatched arguments... no
  configure: error: The Fortran compiler gfortran10 will not compile files that
call the same routine with arguments of different types.
  ===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.

This error was produced on powerpc64 (see comment 7 in PR #246700).

This issue is probably due to the -fno-common flag set by default. The easy
workaround is adding CFLAGS=-fcommon until the code can be fixed (preferably
upstream) according to https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-10/porting_to.html#common .
