ah, ok, thanks for this explanation, I was not aware of these *make
behaviors.

as explained in my bug report, I eventually managed to rebuild the
static libs using this sequence :

# mkdir netcdf
# cd netcdf/
# apt-get source netcdf
# debuild -b -uc -us
# CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/hdf5/serial/include"
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/hdf5/serial/lib ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local/netcdf4/ --disable-doxygen --enable-netcdf4
--disable-dap-remote-tests --disable-examples --disable-utilities
--disable-testsets
# make

and then :

# find . -name "libnetcdf.a"
./liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.a

# cp -arf ./liblib/.libs/libnetcdf.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

thanks again for your support, I wish you all the best for end-of-2017
holydays !

cheers,
