I was able to build netcdf 3.3 using version beta 18 of the Cygnus
gnu-win32, both C and fortran. I ran into similar problems. Take a
look at my patches below, or just grab the pre-compiled libraries and
binaries.
Good Luck,
Arlindo.

GNU Win32 NetCDF & UDUnits Libraries

20 June 1997
This directory contains binary versions of Unidata's NetCDF and
UDUnits package compiled with Cygnus GNU Win32 C compiler (this is a
port of gcc to Windows 95/NT). Also under this directory binaries of the
utilities ncgen, ncdump and the unit converter "udunits".
The NetCDF v3.3 libraries includes C, C++ and FORTRAN bindings
(but no Perl interface). The UDUNITS library has only the C
interface, no FORTRAN or Perl interface.
TOOLS USED:
C : Cygnus GNU Win32 v Beta 18 (*)
FORTRAN : GNU Fortran 0.5.19.1 (*)
NetCDF: v 3.3 sources available from Unidata
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu)
(*) See http://www.cygnus.com/gnu-win32 for download sites.
AVAILABILITY:
The pre-compiled NetCDF and UDUnits libraries can be obtained from:
ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/unidata/netcdf/nc-3.3-bin.tar.gz
Sources are available from http://www.unidata.ucar.edu. See below
for my gnuwin32 patches.
DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
/usr/Local/win32/bin ncdump, ncgen & udunits tools
/usr/Local/win32/lib libraries
/usr/Local/win32/include header files
/usr/Local/win32/man Unix manual pages
/usr/Local/win32/WWW NetCDF and UDUnits pages from
Unidata. Use this to get to their
WWW server, etc.
PATCHES FOR COMPILING NetCDF 3.3 under GNU Win32 Beta 18
Netcdf 3.3 almost built out of the tar file. Here are the small
changes I needed to make:
1) add the following to file src/fortran/cfortran.h
#ifdef __CYGWIN32__
#define f2cFortran
#endif
2) In src/ncgen/ncgentab.c (lex output?) comment the line:
/* #include <values.h> */
3) In src/make.rules add the suffix "exe" to the line below:
$(BINDIR)/$(PROGRAM): $(BINDIR) $(PROGRAM)
cp $(PROGRAM).exe $@.exe
These changes probably could be done within autoconf.
As for UDUNITS, I built it from the sources I hacked for
MS-DOS (search Unidata archives or write to me).
