The above error message is a symptom of a bug in libtool where it's
treating PGI version "10.0" as version "1.0", according to:

One way to work around the problem is to just not build and test the
C++ netCDF interface, by setting the environment variable CXX=''
before running the configure script.  Nothing else in the netCDF
distribution depends on the C++ API, so that should be OK unless you
have users of the C++ API.
