Not that I know of.

Sounds like a bug. Does it build a shared library? Even
one where the
Fortran driver is used for linking? Could be that libtool
doesn't know
how to build shared libs with this Fortran compiler (which
is it?) or
that it cannot build them at all.

No. That is not compiler-, but system-dependent. Being
able to create
shared libraries at all may be compiler-dependent.
Cheers,
