Description
The bundled share library is out of date and incompatible with GCC10.
In particular, the make_dir subroutine in share/Library/src/ModUtility.f90 sets an octal permission mask. This is no longer allowed under GCC10, but the routine has already been rewritten in the upstream repo (and actually has a different calling syntax).
The share folder should be updated to the latest version from SWMF.

Research direction
Start with share/Library/src/ModUtility.f90 and inspect the make_dir subroutine, then compare the bundled share folder with the latest version from the upstream SWMF repository. Build the project with GCC10 and verify that the updated library and its changed calling syntax work throughout the code.
