The compiler must be told what Fortran-calling conventions to use in
order to build the Fortran interface.  If you don't need the Fortran
interface, then it doesn't matter what conventions you tell the 
compiler to use.  I suggest using the "f2cFortran" conventions by 
defining that C macro in your compilation commands, e.g.,

    cc -Df2cFortran ...
