[netCDF #FQI-260886]: Fail to make check when installing netcdf-4.4.1.1

Hello,

The failure is caused by a race condition which happens when 'make check' is 
invoked without having invoked 'make' first.  The fault is ours and will be 
corrected in the next release. In the meantime, you should be able to run 'make 
&& make check', which should solve this error.

Thank you, have a great day,

-Ward
