Hi Sam: Some library somewhere is using a different ABI than you expect. Do a file wrf_user_fortran_util_0.o and against any of the shared/static objects you are linking against. Make sure you have the right -L options. I got this when I had a stale build of something. I had to rebuild the application after cleaning out the old libs/objects (a simple make clean often helps).
