Sorry it seemed independent, but indeed it is related to the netcdf v4.
If you tried to build using libnetcdf-dev (>= 1:4.0.0) (available in
experimental) you got this result. Note that no other package gives
this problem, so I suspect it is due to some oddities with
macros/defines. Note that new netcdf 4 depends on HDF5 now.
