Indeed it was.

You have a problem. In general, perl extension modules should be built
in the same way that the perl utility was -- to insure consistency.  It
looks like your perl compiler was built a while ago with an older
version of the gcc compiler.

You have some options:

    1.  Try building the NetCDF.o object-file manually by omitting the
        offending opiton.  Then continue using the make(1) utility.

    2.  Modify the makefile in the perl/ subdirectory to remove the
        offending option.

    3.  Rebuild your perl utility using your current compiler.

I think I'd try #2.

Good luck
