The name b1n1.ac is correct. In fact, ABINIT uses 'hostname -s' which 
returns the name without the domain name. So b1n1 is short enough!

You're using xlf90, aren't you? This compiler uses non standard options 
and this annoys the build system. To avoid that, Yann Pouillon added a 
wrapper around that compiler. The build system will activate this 
wrapper according to the name of your compiler. So use an alias to 
ensure the compiler name to 'xlf90' (without _r).
When you run 'configure', in the Fortran support section, you should 
have two lines like these ones :
checking if we are using the IBM XL Fortran compiler... yes
configure: applying Fortran compiler tricks (type: ibm, version: 9.1)
