[MITgcm-support] problem running on OS X

[samar khatiwala]

Hi Chris

I tried the -xassembler option (and also NML_TERMINATOR). It did
not fix the problem. As you said, it was a long shot. cpp without
it hasn't given problems on other code.
FYI: previous versions - I have been working with c51h_pre and c52 - work
fine with absoft on OS 10.3.x.

Thanks, Samar
