README: minor tweak to specifically mention GNU Fortran
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Lots of people still use GFortran, and lots of people still use
somewhat old versions of it (e.g., if it's bundled in their
older-but-still-installed Linux distros).  So let's specifically
mention it.  This may be a bit overkill, but more specific docs are
usually a Good Thing (i.e., they can prevent questions from being sent
to the mailing list).

when Open MPI is built with a Fortran compiler that support the
INTERFACE keyword and ISO_FORTRAN_ENV.

*** The Open MPI team has not tested to determine exactly which
version of the GNU Fortran compiler suite started supporting
what is required for MPI_SIZEOF. We know that gfortran v4.8
(bundled in RHEL 7.x) supports the MPI_SIZEOF interfaces.
However, gfortran 4.4 (bundled in RHEL 6.x) does not.

- The level of support provided by the mpi module is based on your
Fortran compiler.
