Although they might be interpreted as special directives by some
compilers, there lines are still nothing more than comments.  I don't
understand why a compiler would ever fail on an unrecognized
directive.

Hmm.  This must be your problem.  Why not use gfortran to compile the
Fortran bits?  Or, if you really feel the need to use this compiler,
then maybe there is a switch to tell it to treat all comments as
comments and not try to recognize them as compiler directives?
