Mike,

I just built netcdf-3.5.1-beta10 on our RedHat 8.0 Linux machine that
has g++ 3.2:

% g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

I did not, however, do much in the way of testing this configuration.

You can grab this beta using anonymous FTP from our FTP server
ftp.unidata.ucar.edu:

ftp ftp.unidata.ucar.edu
  <user> anonymous
  <pass> address@hidden
  cd pub/netcdf
  binary
  get netcdf-3.5.1-beta10.tar.Z
  quit

The environment variable flags I had set for this build were:

CC=gcc
CPPFLAGS=-DNDEBUG -Df2cFortran
CFLAGS=-O
FC=g77
FFLAGS=-O -Wuninitialized -fno-automatic
CXX=g++
