This is interesting!  Apparently, when you do a `make all' in the
top-level source directory, you get an error from the recursive make(1)
that's executing `make all' in the `port/' subdirectory.  When you do a
`make all' in the `port/' subdirectory itself, however, everything goes
just fine.

It's possible that the make(1) utility on the CRAY C90 is broken (this
is not that unusual -- I've already encountered a broken m4(1)).

Try this:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory of your netCDF
        distribution.

    2.  Execute the command `make clean'.  Trap the output and send it
        to me.

    3.  If #2 works, then execute the command `make port/all' (still in
        the top-level source directory).  Trap the output.

    4.  If #3 doesn't work, then send its output to me; otherwise

    5.  Still in the top-level source directory, execute the command
        `make all'.  Trap the output.

    6.  If #5 doesn't work, then send its output to me.

    7.  Let me know how far in this list you get before encountering a
        problem.
