The above is not a symptom of a problem when you are using ifort.  It is 
expected 
when running configure, as part of determining that the Fortran compiler is not
gfortran.

From the config.log, I see the version of ifort is:

   configure:4958: ifort --version >&5
   ifort (IFORT) 14.0.2 20140120

This is a recent enough version that I would expect it would support the
overloading that's happening in the netcdf_overloads.f90 statments
where it's getting errors.  The config.log also shows your ifort supports
Fortran 2008 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions, but not the TS29113 standard 
extension.

We didn't test this release with ifort at Unidata.  We do have access 
to an Intel Fortran development environment on a remote platform
where we may be able to reproduce the problem, but that will take some
time.  In the meantime, I'm also forwarding this question to the developer, 
Richard Weed, who tests on Intel Fortran as well as gfortran, in case he
has time to diagnose the problem ...

Richard, I've made the config.log and make.check.log available here, in
case you need them:

Thanks for any help you can provide!
