Thanks for your answer. I am now using the myprog_LINK variable in
Makefile.am and it works fine with both gcc/gfortran and icc/ifort. I
am not sure if AC_FC_DUMMY_MAIN helps in my case though. According to
the documentation, this checks whether or not a dummy main program is
needed for the link. The problem I had was that _main was defined
*twice*.

Cheers,
Sébastien
