Your C compiler is very old:

    $ cc -V
    cc: C Development Set  (CDS) SPARCompilers 2.0.1 03 Sep 1992

It's not a conforming Standard C compiler, which is why you're having
problems.

I managed to build and install the netCDF package in
"/data/programs/netcdf/netcdf-3.3.1" by using the following settings:

    CC="/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xa"
    CPPFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -D__sun"
    CFLAGS=-O
    FC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/f77
    FFLAGS="-O -w"
    CXX=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC

You would not be expected to know about the "-Xa" and "-D__sun" options
(though if your compiler were more up-to-date, these options would be
unnecessary).

If I were you, I would talk with your systems administrator about
getting a more modern compiler.
