I'm pretty clueless here. People are using intel's version 8 compilers in all
sorts of environments, including FC2 here in my group. You might let us know
exactly which compiler version you have; here is ours:

born% ifort -V
Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.0 Build
20040412Z Package ID: l_fc_pc_8.0.046

Your file looks like the one on my Solaris machine, but I don't get any errors
in compiling leap, with this environment:

godel% uname -a
SunOS godel 5.8 Generic_108528-21 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
godel% cc -V
cc: Sun WorkShop 6 2000/04/07 C 5.1

My compiler and OS are slightly different, but this code has compiled
unchanged for 15 years on myriads of X installations.... Anyway, either add
__STDC__, or change _Xconst to const (I don't see that it would ever get
expanded into anything different).

The Absoft windows compiler does not allow a space after the command, so the
attempt was to try to accommodate that syntax. Are you sure that your changes
to the Makefiles were correct? Your later message shows that the ar commands
are still not being expanded correctly. Again, my Solaris machine shows none
of these problems.
