I think these are harmless and it should work to remove the ## in
the constructions
# define DYNLOADEXT "." ## SHLIB_EXT
and
# define F77_QSYMBOL(x) #x ## "_"
You're not supposed to use ## to stick text strings together like
that, only tokens, but it seems to have worked with all other
compilers. (I think we analyzed this earlier and decided not to change
the code, but I forgot why. Maybe we just plain forgot to fix it.)
