This looks like an architecture-specific issue; hdfi.h typedefs intf to
be long on i386 and int on amd64, whereas zconf.h uses int regardless.
The types are the same size on i386, but still formally distinct, hence
the error.  To work around it, you may have to use the preprocessor to
divert one library's definition:

[...]
#include <zlib.h>
#ifdef HAVE_HDF5
#include <hdf5.h>
#endif
#ifdef HAVE_HDF4
#define intf hdf4_intf
#include <hdf/mfhdf.h>
#undef intf
#endif
[...]
