First, on a Debian/unstable machine, "make check" gives the following
failures:

194: AC_F77_MAIN                                     FAILED (acfortran.at:13)
195: AC_F77_WRAPPERS                                 FAILED (acfortran.at:14)
196: AC_FC_MAIN                                      FAILED (acfortran.at:15)
197: AC_FC_WRAPPERS                                  FAILED (acfortran.at:16)
[...]
ERROR: All 349 tests were run,
5 failed (1 expected failure).

I've generated the configure with GNU Autoconf 2.61a.397-3dee9 on
this Debian machine, then did "make dist", transferred the zip file
to the N810 (Maemo/OS2008), patched the configure file with

  sed -i -e 's/diff /cmp /' configure

and ran configure, make and "make check" without any problem.
