[netCDF #DLS-822274]: conftest.c

Hello,

The `conftest.c` file is not part of the distribution; rather, it is created 
dynamically by the `configure` script to test for various features.  The 
contents of conftest.c should be included in the config.log file; if you can 
provide this file, I will try to help you figure out why your build has failed.

Thanks!
