Phil,

I see that you are attempting to build netCDF 3.5.0.  This release
has known problems building with the latest gcc/g++ compilers.
Please grab:

netcdf-3.5.1-beta10.tar.Z

from the pub/netcdf directory of anonymous FTP on our FTP server
ftp.unidata.ucar.edu and try using it instead of 3.5.0.

Thanks...
