Bora,
I get the above warnings all the time. I don't know what they mean but they
don't seem to affect the build. After installation, I am able to make the
example programs fine.

When I got the error "config.sub   failed" I finally tracked it down to an
extra space after the backslash in the big ./configure statement above. Make
sure none of the backslashes at the end have any spaces after them,
especially the backslash preceding the --enable-mpi command. If you remove
any such spaces that will probably fix the --enable-mpi problem too.
