Hi,

Here's some addittional information on the problem you saw in building
netCDF 3.6.3 on your Mac with gfortran 4.3.0.  I tried using the 
gfortran 4.5.0 with the /usr/bin/cc 4.2.1 that comes with the Apple
Developer Tools (the same version you already have), and to my surprise
it worked fine:

  $ cc --version
  i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)

  $ gfortran --version
  GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.5.0 20090910 (experimental)
  Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

  $ make clean
   ...
  $ CC=cc FC=gfortran ./configure
   ...
  $ make check
   ...
  [all tests passed]

So I guess my belief that the cc had to match the gfortran version was
superstitious, becasue that had worked for me before.  From this, I think
all you need is a newer gfortran.
