Seems this patch does not fully address the problem.

+ libtool --version
 libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.7.65-e11f

For example, building hdf5 with the ARM compiler, with an MPI compiler wrapper
I still get this error:

flang: error: unknown argument: '-soname'

Looking at the libtool script produced by configure,
I still see empty wl=

11810 # ### BEGIN LIBTOOL TAG CONFIG: FC
11811      
11812 # The linker used to build libraries.
11813 LD="/bm/ashterenli/install/arm-compiler-for-linux_23.10_AmazonLinux-2/gcc-12.2.0_AmazonLinux-2/aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld"
11814        
11815 # How to create reloadable object files.
11816 reload_flag=" -r"
11817 reload_cmds="\$LD\$reload_flag -o \$output\$reload_objs"
11818        
11819 # Commands used to build an old-style archive.
11820 old_archive_cmds="\$AR \$AR_FLAGS \$oldlib\$oldobjs~\$RANLIB \$tool_oldlib"
11821        
11822 # A language specific compiler.
11823 CC="ftn"
11824
11825 # Is the compiler the GNU compiler?
11826 with_gcc=no
11827      
11828 # Compiler flag to turn off builtin functions.
11829 no_builtin_flag=""
11830      
11831 # Additional compiler flags for building library objects.
11832 pic_flag=""
11833      
11834 # How to pass a linker flag through the compiler.
11835 wl=""  


And I still have to fix the libtool script with:

sed -i -e 's/wl=""/wl="-Wl,"/g' libtool

which I got from: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/issues/309

This should be checking for flang to also match for the current name of flang-new, though hopefully for LLVM 18 that'll change to flang, but not yet.

i dropped the -DPIC part as no other target does it, and i think we handle that in common code already.  feel free to follow up if you disagree.

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 https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/hpc/resources/porting-and-tuning/building-openmpi-with-arm-compiler
