Jeff,
For the specific problem of the gcc compiler creating i386 objects
and ifort creating x86_64 objects, in the config.log file it says
configure:26935: ifort -o conftest conftest.f conftest_c.o >&% ld:
warning in conftest_c.o, file is not of required architecture
If configure could pick up on this and write an error message
something like "Your C and fortran compilers are creating objects for
different architectures. You probably need to change your CFLAG or
FFLAG arguments to ensure that they are consistent" it would point
the user more directly to the real problem. Right now the information
is in the config.log file but it doesn't jump out at you.

Make sure that your compilers are all creaqting code for the same
architecture (i386 or x86-64). ifort usually installs such that the
64 bit version of the compiler is the dfault while the apple gcc
compiler creates i386 output by default. Check the architecture of
the .o files with file *.o and if the gcc output needs to be x86_64
add the -m64 flag to the c and c++ flags. That has worked for me.
You shouldn't need the intel c/c++ compilers. I find the configure
error message to be a little bit cryptic and not very insightful.
Do you have a suggestion for a new configure error message? I thought
it was very clear, but then again, I'm one of the implementors...
checking if C and Fortran 77 are link compatible... no

configure: error: C and Fortran 77 compilers are not link
compatible.
Can not continue.
