Yup. You're right.

 The GETSYMBOLS script relies

Yup again (wonder what happened to the original...).

It's a bit difficult without actually having a system where it
matters...

As far as I can see, what needs to be done is to apply the following
algorithm:

100 Modify the GETSYMBOLS script by stripping the underscores
from the F77_SUBROUTINE lines (2 lines, 3 underscores).

110 Try to compile.

120 IF it fails due to an f2c routine, edit src/appl/ROUTINES, replacing
the F77_SUBROUTINE(xxx) with C_FUNCTION(xxx_), and goto 110.

130 Send us a copy of the resulting ROUTINES file.

(We'll need to think of a way to get GETSYMBOLS to understand about
the configure results, but getting the ROUTINES file right would be a
useful first step)
