I just looked at the implementation of iargc.  You can't 
get at the command line arguments with the gfortran
functions from a C program.  Well, you might be able to
get them, but we need more details in exactly what 
you're doing.

Most C programs have 

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

as the entry point.  Is there some reason you can't just
use the usual C idiom.
