[netCDF #AXH-705906]: netcdf 3.6.2 does not cross compile fortran

Try it with the --disable-fortran-type-check option.

If that doesn't turn of the check, send me the exact checks you need turned off
and I will modify the configure.

Instead of using the automatic type size checks, this will give you a set of
default sizes for fortran types:

      AC_DEFINE(NCBYTE_T, byte)
      AC_DEFINE(NCSHORT_T, integer*2)
      AC_DEFINE(NF_INT1_T, byte)
      AC_DEFINE(NF_INT2_T, integer*2)
      AC_DEFINE(NF_INT1_IS_C_SIGNED_CHAR, 1, [default])
      AC_DEFINE(NF_INT2_IS_C_SHORT, 1, [default])
      AC_DEFINE(NF_INT_IS_C_INT, 1, [default])
      AC_DEFINE(NF_REAL_IS_C_FLOAT, 1, [default])
      AC_DEFINE(NF_DOUBLEPRECISION_IS_C_DOUBLE, 1, [default])

Are these correct for your platform?

I believe these checks has also been done in previous releases. Are you sure
that release 3.6.1 compiled for fortran without running these tests?

Thanks,
