[netCDF #ISB-918823]: Building netCDF from trunk with parallel I/O support fails

Although our "make -j" used to work with our Makefiles, that broke
recently, for some reason I could never determine.  So although it
takes longer, I'd suggest not using parallel make.  I'm not sure
that's a cause for some of the problems you're seeing, but I've seen
similar symptoms with "make -j", so just use "make".

I'll try to see if I can reproduce your other symptoms.  Sending us the
Makefile doesn't help, and your config.log just indicates that the configure
script worked OK, but it might help to see the output from "make", at least
up to the point where there are lots of errors.
