Building netcdf-2.4.3 on Cray T90, summary

This is a summary of the problem reported by
John Sheldon <address@hidden> in building
netcdf-2.4.3 on CRAY T90.

System type:
> % uname -a
> sn7203 t90 9.1.0.1 gfd.8 CRAY TS

netcdf-2.4.2 is installed and builds correctly.

Configure chooses 'c89' as the compiler and defaults to '-O'
optimization, as in 2.4.2.  The system uses xdrffio.c as it should.
No problems with the build.

The 'make test' fails:

Sometimes there is a similar problem in libsrc running 'cdftest'.

Substituting the xdrffio.c module from netcdf-2.4.2 makes the problem go away.
