This problem only arises when your main program is in C and your I/O is
done in Fortran.

The s_abort() subroutine is defined in libF77.a and used in libI77.a
(Don't ask me why but I hope it will be moved to libI77.a  soon).
Therefore the normal linking sequence  ....-lF77 -lI77 .....  won't get 
s_abort() linked in for you from libF77.a unless your main program is Fortran.
Do I make sense ?

You can work around it for now by adding -lI77 to your command line.
