Build PnetCDF on Ubuntu

The following waning message may occur during "make". It is safe to ignore.

• See http://gnu-automake.7480.n7.nabble.com/bug-20082-new-warning-from-ar-on-rawhide-systems-td21769.html

ar: `u' modifier ignored since `D' is the default (see `U')

The following note applies to 1.9.0 only, when building shared library.

• Set LDFLAGS to the following at the configure command line, i.e.,

  ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install \
              --enable-shared \
              LDFLAGS="-Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined"

• Without option "--enable-shared", only the static libraries will be built and in this case there is no need to set LDFLAGS.

• Note that without setting the LDFLAGS to the above, you might see error messages similar to below, when using gfortran based MPI compilers.
