PGF90-F-0000-Internal compiler error

Hi,

I am trying to compile a fortran code which interfaces with a C library and I get the following error.

$ pgf90 -module . -O0 -Minform=inform -c errhandler.f90 -o errhandler.o
PGF90-F-0000-Internal compiler error. gen_llvm_expr(): no incoming ili 0 (errhandler.f90: 73)
PGF90/power Linux 16.10-0: compilation aborted

I am using pgf90 version 16.10 on a OpenPower machine.

pgf90 -V

pgf90 16.10-0 linuxpower target on Linuxpower

note that I am able to compile this code with gfortran 4.8.4. In the code below, I isolated the part of the modules which prevent the compilation of the whole file. The actual module is 421 lines long.

I noticed that if I remove the function calls to PC_errhandler_f, the code compiles.

Can you help me? thank you,
Abel

Here is the source code of the modules I am trying to compile:

module pc_types

  USE iso_C_binding

  IMPLICIT NONE

  TYPE, bind(C) :: PC_errhandler_t
     TYPE(C_FUNPTR) :: func
     TYPE(C_PTR) :: context
  END TYPE PC_errhandler_t

end module pc_types

MODULE pc

  USE iso_C_binding
  USE pc_types

  IMPLICIT NONE

  ! Error handlers
  TYPE(PC_errhandler_t), BIND(C, NAME="PC_ASSERT_HANDLER") :: PC_ASSERT_HANDLER
  TYPE(PC_errhandler_t), BIND(C, NAME="PC_NULL_HANDLER") :: PC_NULL_HANDLER

  INTERFACE
     TYPE(PC_errhandler_t) FUNCTION PC_errhandler_f(handler) &
          bind(C, name="PC_errhandler")
       USE iso_C_binding
       USE pc_types
       TYPE(PC_errhandler_t), VALUE :: handler
     END FUNCTION PC_errhandler_f
  END INTERFACE
  
  
CONTAINS 

  !==================================================================
  SUBROUTINE PC_errhandler(new_handler, old_handler)
    TYPE(PC_errhandler_t), INTENT(IN) :: new_handler
    TYPE(PC_errhandler_t), INTENT(OUT), OPTIONAL :: old_handler

    TYPE(PC_errhandler_t) :: tmp_handler

    IF (PRESENT(old_handler)) THEN
       old_handler = PC_errhandler_f(new_handler)
    ELSE
       tmp_handler = PC_errhandler_f(new_handler)
    END IF

  END SUBROUTINE PC_errhandler
  !==================================================================


END MODULE pc
