Bug Description

mpich is FTBFS'ing with GCC/GFortran 11:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpich/3.4.1-5/+build/21966757/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-amd64.mpich_3.4.1-5_BUILDING.txt.gz

...
checking whether f77 allows mismatched arguments... yes, with -fallow-argument-mismatch
configure: error: The Fortran compiler f77 does not accept programs that call the same routine with arguments of different types without the option -fallow-argument-mismatch. Rerun configure with FFLAGS=-fallow-argument-mismatch
 tail -v -n \+0 config.log
==> config.log <==
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
...

Upon some investigation, I found that the only thing needed is to adjust the existing GF10_FLAGS (from d/rules) to account for gfortran-11.

I will post a patch soon.

Thanks for the patch Sergio! The package built fine locally as well and autopkgtest also successfully passed for me. Is this something we want to forward to Debian? Anyway, +1 for the proposed changes.

Thanks for the review, Lucas.

Yeah, I will file a bug against the Debian package just to let them know
that we've had to adjust d/rules because of GCC11. Based on some
discussions I've seen on the BTS I think they're well aware of the need
to change this when the time comes, but it doesn't hurt to file the bug
anyway.

Cheers,

I've also linked the existing Debian bug, and forwarded the patch there.

Thanks.
