I've seen a few glitches today. There's some obscure error in "make
world", but going to the directory itself and running "make; make
install" works fine. Odd. I started from a total clearout of the
installed tree and a fresh git clone to avoid issues from failed builds
or the presence of old executables.
There was an issue with ifd2star not being found. It was trying to
access my older private copy in my bin directory that was accessing a
now removed tcl, hence ifd2star failed. I'm puzzled why "./configure -C"
would configure using that rather than a version built from the
repository code. Yes I had run "./bootstrap --buildsupport".
Reconfiguring the applications fixed the problem.

Thanks. A few odd things had been happening when I switched to
gfortran. That's why cleaned the slates and started afresh.
I didn't think it was something I should be changing.
The "make world" finally completed this afternoon.
