It's not a cross compiling test per se. It's just that your pgcc cannot produce 
functioning executables. This must be fixed, or another compiler used. NetCDF 
needs a functioning C compiler. If you look in the config.log you will see the 
program that it is trying to run. Copy that into a .c file and try and compile 
it from the command line.

Good luck,
