According to what you write, you're using gcc 3.3.x- according to emerge info, it's 3.2.3. Could you please try gcc-config to check/set the compiler version? There seems to be some confusion. I could not reproduce your problem with both gcc versions. I'm setting this to INVALID, if the problem persists feel free to add comments to this bug.
Oki seems to have had a confusion: First try to emerge netcdf was done using gcc-3.2.3 as the emerge info output says. But I also tried gcc 3.3.1 as someone suggested in another bug report. Nevertheless I found the origin of the problem this morning: the problem was that f2c was also installed on my machien. unmerhing f2c netcdf merged without any problem. I thank you all for your help resolving the problem.
