It appears that you are missing the Standard C function "memmove()".
This is undoubtably due to the age of your vendor-supplied C compiler
(SC1.0 is quite old).  The GNU C compiler fixes some problems with the
vendor-supplied C header files, but it can't create a function that
doesn't exist.

I see two possible solutions:

    A.  Install the latest C compiler from Sun (SC4.2, I think); or

    B.  Install the freely-available GNU C++ library.  This *should*
        contain the memmove() function in the library "libiberty.a" that
        it installs.  The GNU C++ library can be found at the following
        sites:

            ftp://tron.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/GNU/prep/
            ftp://ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp/GNU/

        Look for the file "libg++-2.7.2.tar.gz".

When you then attempt to rebuild the netCDF package, do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command "make distclean".

    3.  Remove the file "config.cache" if it exists.

    4.  Set your environment variables as before but add a reference to
        the install library "libiberty.a" to the LIBS variable, e.g.

            
LIBS='/usr2/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4_JL/2.7.2/libgcc.a 
-L/usr/local/gnu/lib -liberty'

        NOTE: The actual pathname might be different on your system --
        depending on where you install it.

    5.  Re-execute the configure script.

    6.  Proceed normally from here.
