In the config.log you attached, I see the more detailed error:

  configure:4489: checking whether the C compiler works
  configure:4511: mpiicc -O2 -axAVX -fPIC -ip -no-prec-div -static 
-I/scratch/nick/hdf5-inst/include -L/scratch/nick/hdf5-inst/lib 
-L/scratch/nick/zlib-intel/lib conftest.c  >&5
  ld: cannot find -ldl

This "dl" library should be provided by the system, it's nothing to do
with netCDF.  This answer to a similar question on the Open MPI User 
Forum may be relevant:

  http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2011/05/16471.php

Are you able to use "mpiicc" to compile and link a simple C "hello world"
program?  If not, that will have to be fixed before you can build netCDF ...
