[netCDF #WYE-962374]: netcdf-4.4.0 make check errors

Hello Dom,

My apologies for the delayed response; I have been out of the office.  I don't 
have a lot of experience with the Redhat Scientific Linux distribution, nor do 
I have access to the Intel C compiler suite, so it will be difficult for me to 
try to duplicate this error.  Can you provide the `config.log` generated when 
you ran configure?  This may provide some insight that we can use to try to 
diagnose the issue.

Thanks, have a great day, sorry again for the delayed response!
