We can't duplicate this problem here and haven't seen it reported
before.  Could you please send us more details: the environment
variables you used to specify the build environment for the configure
script and the other information listed under the Reporting Problems
section of the INSTALL document at:

 http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/INSTALL.html#ReportingProblems

Thanks.
