Details:

This patch adds support for flang compilers. Some specific flags are needed so
these compilers must be handled in a specific way.
By default, the compiler is called 'flang', but ARM releases their own
flang-based compiler called 'armflang'.

Because of the current lack of flang support in libtool, the generated
'libtool' must be manually modified after 'configure' is invoked. Such a
process is for example described on ARM web site (it involves the Open MPI
library) at
