Hello,
unfortunately there's going to be *another* soname bump to libxc. Libxc 5 replaced the ancient "Fortran '90" interface with the Fortran 2003 version based on iso_c_binding. However, this included *renaming* the Fortran 2003 module and functions, which is obviously inconvenient for downstream projects and has caused a lot of hassle.
This change is reverted in the upcoming libxc release, resulting in another soname bump, but a more backwards compatible API... It appears that the Fortran codes elk and exciting have not yet been compiled against libxc 5; the next release will be easier to compile against.

Nevermind, there's not going to be a soname bump; a copy of the erroneously renamed library will also be shipped in the next release... the main point being that libxcf03 will be there as well and stay there.
FYI: elk developers have been informed about the upcoming libxc bugfix release, and elk is tracked here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1831479 GPAW is tracked here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1830675 I've orphaned exciting, since there was not much collaboration from the developers.
