A slightly longer  way ... :

1) in autoconf2.5, add the line

PatchScript: sed -i -r 's|^(\ *)(end]\))|\1call\ exit\n\1\2|g' 
lib/autoconf/fortran.m4

(and do a similar patch for extutils-f77 for a couple of perl-modules :
in F77.pm, add a line

     print OUT "      call exit\n";
right after the line :
     print OUT "      print *, 'Hello World'\n";
)

2) After rebuilding those 2, the configure stage in other builds should 
proceed normally,
provided you add, if necessary, in a PatchScript to run  autoconf  (or 
autoreconf (-f)) ,
and, if necessary, fix, before running autoconf, the  .m4  files in the 
builddir. Thus, eg,

PatchScript: <<
 sed -i -r 's|^(\ *)end$|\1call\ exit\n\1end|g' *.m4 m4/R.m4
 autoconf
<<

3) As to the make proper, the following line is safe to add in the 
PatchScript, and will as far
as I know correct the problems in the sources :

egrep -r '^\ *(STOP|stop)$' *|grep '\.f:'|cut -f1 -d':'|xargs sed -i -r 
's,^\ *(STOP|stop)$,&\ 999,g'

Best,
