ATM Fortran in FreeBSD is in a very bad shape, and, as you know, we
encounter difficulties with several ports (french/aster, cad/salome,
etc.) caused by a mix between clang and Gcc, and thus libstdc++ /
libc++.

If building mpich with a newer Gcc could solve the problem with
opencoarrays, I'm afraid it would cause uncompatibilities in other
dependencies - but unfortunately I cannot suggest a better alternative!
