None of the developers have access to that platform, and this is the first
report (either positive or negative) we have heard about it.  So the
question is do you want to bypass the problem or do you want to deal with it
because you have an interest in fortran and expertise on fortran for x86_64?
If you want to bypass, then simply disable fortran when you configure, i.e.,

./configure --other options --disable-f77

If you run into any other problems that you want to bypass, then
see ./configure --help for more information.

OTOH, if you want to help us out by attempting to fix the fortran problem on
x86_64 then I _might_ be able to help from a distance, but I will need the
details, i.e., complete "./configure", "make", and "make install" output.
The simplest way to get such output is

./configure --various options >& configure.out
make >& make.out
make install >& make_install.out

Also, give all other relevant details as well such as whether you set any of
the environment variables documented by ./configure --help .

I will also need to know the method used to run plplot-test.sh (what flags,
what directory you ran that script in).  Unfortunately, there are several
bad ways to run that script. The preferred simplest method is to

cp -a $PREFIX/share/plplot5.5.0/examples /tmp/examples

Make sure $PREFIX/bin is on your path, then

cd /tmp/examples
make >& make_examples.out
./plplot-test.sh >& plplot-test.out

Please send the five files (configure.out, make.out, make_install.out,
make_examples.out, plplot-test.out) as attachments in e-mail to me.
(Probably they are too large to post to the list, and in any case most of
this list won't be interested in debugging PLplot fortran interface on
x86_64.)
