Thanks for sending this.  We had a previous report of a different and
simpler method of building netCDF for Absoft compilers:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/docs/other-builds.html#absoft

that just uses 

  CPPFLAGS="-DAbsoftProFortran"
  FLIBS="-lU77"

I could include both methods, but would rather offer users some
guidance about whether to use your script or the above settings.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the Absoft compilers on Mac OS
X.  Were you able to try the above and discover something wrong with
it that led to developing your script, or do you happen to know
anything that would help guide a user to which of these two methods of
building on Mac OS X to use?

Thanks for any information you can provide.
