I tried to give this a little push and built lam on m68k, no problems.
Then I tried hdf with the new lam packages, and it failed in a strange way.
Any ideas?

It looks like one of the many internal compiler errors, is mpiCC.mpich a C
compiler? Is it replicating the bugs of gcc-4.0?

I guess I could loo at the compiler output instead of piping it into
dev/nul, compile it with -O2 instead of -O3, the usual things. Or does
anybody have a better idea?
