[netCDF #SFP-169619]: netcdf fortran 4.1.3 make error

Hmm, I guess the OS-X libtool is not keeping up with the gnu libtool, which 
supports 
the -force_load option.  But it can be tricky, using Gnu versions of tools with 
Apple's
gcc, for example, which has Apple additions not supported by Gnu tools.  It 
looks like
setting lt_cv_ld_force_load=no got you past that problem.

I think we can solve this without needing to use a different libtool, because 
the error
below just looks like an attempt to mix 32-bit and 64-bit objects in the same 
library.
You need to either use all 32-bit ("-m32" flag on gcc and gfortran) or all 
64-bit ("-m64"
flag on gcc and gfortran).  Depending on where you got them, the default for 
your gfortran
may be 32-bit, while the default for your gcc may be 64-bit.

I think you can also use -arch i386 or -arch x86_64 to specify 
the target machine architecture for 32-bit or 64-bit when using
Apple compilers.

So set CFLAGS and FCFLAGS to include matching target architecture options.
For example, this worked for me:

  make clean && CC=cc CFLAGS='-g -m32' CXX=g++ CXXFLAGS='-g -m32' FC='gfortran 
-m32' FCFLAGS='-g' F77='gfortran -m32' FFLAGS='-g -O2' CPPFLAGS='-DNDEBUG 
-DgFortran' LDFLAGS=-m32 LIBS= FLIBS= F90LIBS= ./configure --enable-netcdf-4 
--with-hdf5=/share/ed/local/mort && make check install
