Please try moving /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin to the end of your
PATH, so that it would hopefully try to compile it with gcc instead of
mpicc, mpicxx and mpif77.

Hm, on my system it looks like this:

# which mpicc mpicxx mpif77 ; ls -l /usr/local/*bin/mpi*
/usr/bin/mpicc
/usr/bin/mpicxx
/usr/bin/mpif77
ls: cannot access '/usr/local/*bin/mpi*': No such file or directory

but i'll give it a try and report back.

it doesn't help:

# echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/opt/bin

What about 5.2.0?
Comment 9 Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev 2022-05-06 22:02:36 UTC
This was due to an (likely accidental) environment variable setting. In the config.log posted, you can see F77=mpif77, which is later used...

  configure:28521: mpif77 -c -O2 -pipe conftest.f >&5
  ./configure: line 3949: mpif77: command not found
  configure:28521: $? = 127
  configure: failed program was:
  |       subroutine foobar()
  |       return
  |       end
  |       subroutine foo_bar()
  |       return
  |       end
  configure:28654: error: in `/var/tmp/portage/sci-mathematics/...:
  configure:28656: error: cannot compile a simple Fortran program

So after 5+ years, I'm sorry to say that this is was easily fixable by not overriding the fortran compiler.
