I can't duplicate the problem you are seeing.  Version 4.1.3 builds fine
here with gfortran and the flag you're using to get around the long-line 
problem:

  make clean && CC=gcc FC=gfortran FFLAGS=-ffree-line-length-none 
CPPFLAGS=-I/share/ed/local/spike/include LDFLAGS=-L/share/ed/local/spike/lib 
./configure && make -j check

One difference might be that you are including szlib.  We don't test with
that library for reasons explained in section 2.2 of the installation guide:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/netcdf-install.html#Quick-Instructions

Do you really need szlib, knowing that netCDF-4 can't write szlib-encoded files?

Another possibility might be that you just need to do a "make clean" and run
the configure script again, before "make check".

If you still can't get "make check" to run without errors, could you try it 
without szlib, to see if that is the source of the problems?  If that's not
convenient, could you try the current release candidate, version 4.2-rc1 with
the separate Fortran release, version 4.2?
