Errors in make check compiling with PGI 16.4 compilers

I am trying to compile netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0 on a CentOS 7.2 64-bit machine, and I am getting failures from 'make check'.

This is with the PGI compilers, version 16.4, HDF5, version 1.8.16, and NetCDF, version 4.4.1, all recently build, and all of which pass their tests upon making.

The configure options for netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0 is just the prefix, and the resulting nc-config --all reports

$ ./nc-config --all

This netCDF 4.4.1 has been built with the following features: 

  --cc        -> pgcc
  --cflags    ->  -I/sw/arcts/centos7/netcdf/4.4.1/pgi-16.4-hdf5-1.8.16/include -DpgiFortran -I/sw/arcts/centos7/hdf5/1.8.16-pgi-16.4/include
  --libs      -> 

  --has-c++   -> no
  --cxx       -> 
  --has-c++4  -> no
  --cxx4      -> 

  --fc        -> 
  --fflags    -> 
  --flibs     -> 
  --has-f90   -> no
  --has-f03   -> no

  --has-dap   -> yes
  --has-nc2   -> yes
  --has-nc4   -> yes
  --has-hdf5  -> yes
  --has-hdf4  -> no
  --has-logging-> no
  --has-pnetcdf-> no
  --has-szlib -> 

  --prefix    -> /sw/arcts/centos7/netcdf/4.4.1/pgi-16.4-hdf5-1.8.16
  --includedir-> /sw/arcts/centos7/netcdf/4.4.1/pgi-16.4-hdf5-1.8.16/include
  --version   -> netCDF 4.4.1

My configure line for netcdf-cxx4-4.3.0 is just configure --prefix=$PREFIX and I set the following environment variables.

export CC=pgcc
export CXX=pgc++
export FC=pgfortran
export F90=pgfortran
export F77=pgfortran
export CPP='pgcc -E'
export CXXCPP='pgc++ -E'
export CFLAGS='-O tp=p7-64'
export CXXFLAGS='-O tp=p7-64'
export FFLAGS='-O tp=p7-64'

 # These are set for the NetCDF C library build
export CPPFLAGS="-DpgiFortran -I${HDF5_INCLUDE}"
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS ${CPPFLAGS} -L${HDF5_LIB} -lhdf5 -lz"
export LDFLAGS="-L${HDF5_LIB}"

 # These are set for the NetCDF C++ library build
export CPPFLAGS="-DpgiFortran -I${PREFIX}/include -I${HDF5_INCLUDE}"
export LDFLAGS="-L${PREFIX}/lib -L${HDF5_LIB}"

Rerunning each test program by hand results in the following failures

The only warnings I get from compiling are

"ncDim.h", line 47: warning: type qualifier on return type is meaningless
      const int getId() const {return myId;};

several that look like

"test_type.cpp", line 162: warning: conversion from pointer to smaller integer
      compoundType1.addMember("member1",ncByte,offsetof(struct1,mem1));

with additional warnings about the pointer conversion to smaller integer on lines 163, 164, 168, 169, 170, 390, 391, 393, 518, and 519. There are also these warnings

"test_type.cpp", line 412: warning: variable "dummyStruct2" was set but never
          used
        struct3 dummyStruct2[2];
                ^
"test_type.cpp", line 533: warning: expression has no effect
        dummyData2.mem1[0];
        ^

I recently built using virtually the same procedure and compiler options with gcc 4.8.5, gcc 4.9.3, gcc 5.4.0, and Intel 16.0.3.

Please let me know if there is additional information you would like.
