It has to do with Fortran modules. These are sort of "include" files 
that are automatically generated by the Fortran compiler.  So, there is 
a specific order in which Fortran source files must be compiled so that 
files that include exist before they try to include them.

For some examples see this cmake test case:

It will not pass with upstream ninja.
