I think you're missing the FORTRAN.LIB :->  Seriously, the .OBJ
created by the Fortran compiler seems to have references to the
library file of the compiler.  There may (and almost certainly
is) a call to a function, to which Fortran could not generate
intrinsic code but used a call instead.  Now that you do not have
(do you?) the FORTRAN.LIB, the linker (and *not* the C-compiler)
does not know where to find code for that/those external call/-s.

The fix is to use the FORTRAN.LIB of the compiler the .OBJ was
done with, then compile the C-code and to offer the FORTRAN.LIB
as an additional library to search code for external calls to
the LINKer.
