How do you send a fortran character string from GCC to GFortran ?

I cannot get this to link.  I can do the reverse, send a fortran 
character string from Gfortran to GCC.

I do have the additional complication that I do not know the length of 
the fortran character string being sent from GCC to Gfortran at compile 
time, only run time.  So that is a character*(*) string.

I am not using the ISO C binding.

Thanks,
Lynn
