Local fix
Use -qcomplexgcc
Problem summary
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: MASS cosisin function does not work correctly when called from Fortran due to linkage mismatch. USERS AFFECTED: Fortran calls to MASS cosisin on Linux or BG/Q-LoP in 32-bit mode.
Problem conclusion
Linux and BG/Q-LoP MASS cosisin is compiled with xlc and default option -qcomplexgcc. This causes it to return the complex result in GPRs(General Purpose Registers) rather than FPRs (Floating Point Registers) for 32-bit mode. xlf by default uses -qnocomplexgcc, which expects complex results in FPRs. In order to make the xlf linkage compatible with MASS, without breaking MASS compatibility with xlc, we changed the xlf Front End to turn cosisin into a BIF, and removed the cosisin prototype from mass.include.
