All these look OK, and the results of your running configure exactly match
what we see on IRIX 6.1.

Since the library tests for XDR, the netCDF C interface, and the netCDF
Fortran interface all succeed, it looks like there is an IRIX 6.0.1-specific
problem only with the ncgen utility, though we can't reproduce it here.  If
you don't need ncgen, you could assume the library is OK (it passes all the
tests), and simply use an ncgen compiled on an SGI 5.3 system, if you have
one, for example.

You might also get an ncgen utility for your system by using the "-n32" flag
to compile the library and ncgen, after setting CFLAGS to "-n32" as an
environment variable or in the CUSTOMIZE file, running the configure script
again, and rebuilding.

Unfortunately this doesn't pinpoint where in ncgen the problem is occurring,
and I can't reproduce the problem, so I'm stumped ...
