The referenced variable "na" should have been "Perl_na".  It would seem
that the file netCDF.c is being incorrectly generated from file
NetCDF.xs by your perl utility.

Try removing the file perl/netCDF.c in order to have the make utility
regenerate it.

Execute the command "make -n NetCDF.o".  Grab the command that make(1)
thinks it would execute in order to generate the object file.  Change
the "-c" (compile) option to "-E" (preprocess).  Is the variable at the
relevant position "na" or "Perl_na"?
