Improve f_check when assembly has no vendor identity - #6003

Vendor detection in f_check greps the probe assembly (ftest.s) for a compiler identity string. Some compilers, notably Intel ifx, emit no such string, so the primary `case "$data"` scan fails to set a vendor. The name-based fallback only recognizes bare compiler names, so an ifx-backed wrapper (e.g. mpif90, mpifort or the Cray ftn wrapper) is not matched either, leaving the vendor empty and resulting in a false conclusion that no Fortran compilers are available. Append the output of `$compiler --version` to $data so such compilers are identified by their version banner (ifx's contains "ifx", "Intel").

Thank you (guess I'll also need to check why the Frankenstein f2c ?lamch fallback didn't work for you, but that may have already been fixed by the recent #5982) |
