as Oliver already mentioned this has nothing to do with the compiler or MPI library you're using. For some reason the preprocessor (cpp) did not replace _EXCH_XYZ_R8 with the appropriate subroutine call.

Please make sure that the preprocessing step is successful. If I remember correctly, *.f files are generated from the corresponding *.F in a separate step in the MITgcm make process. From the stdout/stderr you should be able to check the cpp command for any missing options/defines. You can re-run just the cpp command interactively to find out what is needed for the correct expansion of this macro.

Cheers,

Jens-Olaf
