For some reason which I have not been able to determine,
the configure script is reporting that your machine does not
use IEEE floating point. I'm almost certain that it does.

If it is the case that this machine uses IEEE floating point,
you can comment out the
macro
#define NO_IEEE_FLOAT
in libsrc/ncconfig.h
to manually override this.

If the machine is not IEEE, then there is more work involved.

If the machine uses CRAY1 floating point format,
most of the work is done. You can start with adding
#define _CRAY to ncx.c to turn on CRAY floating point conversions.

The only other machine floating point format supported is VAX,
which is unlikey to be of help in this situation.
