[netCDF #MAW-926067]: make check fails for 4.1.3

Greetings!

Sorry for the false positives on zlib and -mp1. I see that the -mp1 flag is 
indeed in the man page, but other online sources indicate that -mp1 as well as 
-mp have been deprecated in favor of -fp-model (-mp has an official deprecation 
warning in the docs, but -mp1 does not at this point). 

I am pretty sure the nightly build is safe to use in production environments. 
make check runs an extensive test suite, so the fact that make check passed is 
a great news. That said, we do occasionally run into bugs, like with szlib, and 
we greatly appreciate bug reports if you happen to find any (please direct the 
bug reports to address@hidden).

Cheers!

Sean
