This pre-release has an issue your older ones do as well. When I try to build with gcc 5.3.0 at NAS at NASA Ames I get:
configure: error: linking to Fortran libraries from C fails
See `config.log' for more details
I've attached my config.log. I believe the issue is due to the oddity of how gcc5 was built at NAS using pkgsrc or spack or something; the '-Wl,-R' in 'gcc -v' is my prime culprit. It's like HDF4 is seeing -Wl flags for ld and thinking that -R then goes right to gcc?
Now, I have in the past built GCC myself with a very simple configure that doesn't have the pkgsrc or anything bits the system folks there build with and it works (with 4.2.11), so that's why I suspect the -Wl bits.
