Hi Jeff,

Google-ing for the terms:

  "command option" "contains an incorrect subargument"

turned up at least part of your problem.  Some of the tests inside
genmake2 unnecessarily passed the $DEFINES as command-line arguments to
the Fortran compiler.  Most compilers can handle that syntax but
apparently your IBM compiler can't.

So I just checked in a fix to genmake2.  Could you please do the
following:

  1) get a copy of the *very* latest genmake2 from our CVS

  2) uncomment (that is, make active like it originally was) 
     the DEFINES='-DWORDLENGTH=4' line within your optfile

  3) re-run the entire build process from scratch:
       genmake2 ...
       make depend
       make

And if that produces more errors then please send them here and we'll
keep working on it.  But I know that we've fixed at least one problem
that you've encountered and thats encouraging.

Ed
