The above message contained the following:

The "config.log" file shows this problem:

    configure:1933: checking if Fortran "integer*1" is C "signed char"
    configure:1942: /app/gnu/bin/gcc -c -DNDEBUG -O -mfp64 -mcpu=r4000 -mips3 
conftest.c
    configure:1944: /bin/f90 -O -64 -mips4 -c conftestf.f
    configure:1946: /bin/f90 -o conftest -O -64 -mips4  conftestf.o conftest.o 
    ld64: FATAL   12 : Expecting n64 objects: conftest.o is n32.

Apparently, the options you gave the gcc(1) compiler still didn't
produce an n64 object module.

You'll have to do one of the following:

    1.  Discover what gcc(1) options will produce an n64 object; or

    2.  Use another C compiler that WILL generate n64 objects; or

    3.  Give up on generating a 64-bit netCDF library.
