Your file "test.log" shows the problem:

> making `test' in directory /root/netcdf-perl-1.2.2/src/perl
...
> Checking last value of first record variable...make[2]: *** [test_dynamic]

As far as I know, this problem only occurs on Linux systems with version
3.2 of gcc(1) and version 5.8 of perl(1).

Can you use a different version of perl(1) or gcc(1)?  If so, does the
problem still occur?
