Bug in gfortran, your code is good.

After a few trials, I guess you used static linking. There seems to be a 
bad interaction between using a C main program and statically linking 
libgfortran/libgfortranbegin.

To gfortran developers: when libgfortran is statically linked, the 
init() constructor routine is not called when the program is run. Is 
that normal? (I guess no, since this is why this bug arise) How could we 
work around that bug?
