A side issue, but related(?): the "checking for Fortran 77 name-mangling
scheme" which fails for me (NetBSD-1.5V/i386, egcs-2.91.66) is probably
because:

/usr/lib/libg2c.so: undefined reference to `MAIN__'

Jason Beegan suggested adding

       void
       MAIN__(void)
       {
          abort();
       }

to the fortran program defining the subroutine foobar() (which would then
be called from C as foobar_())

Cheers,
