Odd - line 66 does not have 3 arguments and the 1 argument is correctly 
%s.  exit has not had to be declared every before.

This is strange - there is no call to a crt1 or a crti routine and 
nothing in the text of install.pl to invoke -lgcc_s.  All of these 
things are being supplied by the ld invoked by the g77 command.  Are 
your g77, gcc, and ld routines compatible?  Do /usr/bin/g77 --version 
and the same for the other two.  Let me know what the answers are.

Try a cd to the $SYSLOCAL area /home/aips/AIPS11/31DEC11/LNX64/SYSTEM/CTSG
and then do the command by hand.
/usr/bin/g77 -O PP.f
followed by an ls PP*.  If there is a PP.o and no complaint
then do
usr/bin/g77 -O -o PP.EXE PP.f ZTRLOP.o
again.

I am grasping at straws here - but there seems to be issues with your 
g77 that is supposed to order up a working link edit with this command.
