Using IGNORE_TKR misses a big part of the mpi_f08 module.

Right. I’ve been using gfortran 4.9 for some time to compile mpi_f08 and associated modules. But not execute. The Cray compiler does support the C descriptors, but gfortran is not quite there yet. I think the gfortran plan is to switch all of their dope vectors to the C descriptor format, which is a much bigger change.
Cheers,

You'll need to build with a non-gfortran compiler to get the mpi_f08 module built (e.g., the Intel fortran compiler).
