Thanks for the note.
I had previously tried something similar - using the directives from
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/GNU-Fortran-Compiler-Directives.html
However - I get errros.

$ cat cb_func.f
subroutine cb_func()
!GCC$ ATTRIBUTES DLLEXPORT :: cb_func, /cb/
common /cb/ cvar
integer cvar
cvar = 2
end
balay@ps4 ~/junk
$ gfortran -c cb_func.f
cb_func.f:2.40:
*GCC$ ATTRIBUTES DLLEXPORT :: cb_func, /cb/

Error: Invalid character in name at (1)

Wrt 'common blocks' vs 'module' - this usage is part of a c library
supporting fortran interfaces [and works generally on various OSes,
compilers]. We haven't worked with dlls on windows much. However this
issue came up on such an attempt with cgwin/gnu compilers.
PS: I'm not subscribed to the ML - it would be great if I'm included in cc:
Thanks,

Hi,
while this is not directly related to gfortran on Cygwin, this article
might help you appreciate the issues involved:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/535307
Are you bound to common blocks? If not, you may get better results
when you put the data in a module.
Regards,
Arjen
