From the "good_make.txt" file you sent, it appears that the Fortran
test is being compiled with g95 rather than the gfortran compiler that
should be used with gcc:

  libtool: link: g95 -I../fortran -I../f90 -I.. -I../liblib -g -O2 -o 
.libs/nf_test test_get.o test_put.o nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o 
test_write.o util.o fortlib.o  ../fortran/.libs/libnetcdff.so 
/usr/lib/libgfortran.so -lm ../liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.so /usr/lib/libcurl.so 
/usr/lib/libidn.so /usr/lib/libldap.so /usr/lib/liblber.so /usr/lib/libsasl2.so 
-lresolv -lrt -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lz

Apparently g95 is being found earlier in your PATH than gfortran, and
that g95 has different conventions for calling C from Fortran than the
gcc/gfortran combination use.

You should either 

 1. change your PATH so that gfortran is found before g95, before
    invoking the configure script, or

 2. specify no Fortran API is desired by configuring with
    --disable-fortran or --disable-f77.  It is not enough to just
    specify --disable-f90, that only says you don't want a Fortran-90
    API but still want an F77 API.
