The Fortran macros in GNU Autoconf do not set these flags.  One of the following
conditions probably applies:

a) You define macros in `configure.ac' that set those variables.
b) A macro package you use via the `aclocal' mechanism sets them.
c) Your copy of Autoconf has third-party modifications.

If (a) or (b), please post the relevant macros.  Otherwise, the differences
probably stem from different patching of your 2.57 and 2.59 installations.
