First, this is off-topic for R-help (see the posting guide, including the
non-use of HTML, please).
Second, the appropriate list needs to see exactly what the output was when
you did this. Remember R CMD SHLIB is a *make* facility, and quite
possibly the objects were not remade after changes.
And yes, R CMD INSTALL does more than your commands -- as you have the
sources you can take a look, or even see what the output says.
Here is a simple F95 example (using gcc pre-4.2.0)
---------- Making package testf95 ------------
adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
making DLL ...
"c:/MinGW/bin/gfortran" -O3 -c cos90.f95 -o cos90.o
windres --include-dir d:/R/svn/trunk/include -i testf95_res.rc -o
testf95_res.o
"c:/MinGW/bin/gfortran" -shared -s -o testf95.dll testf95.def cos90.o
testf95_res.o -Ld:/R/svn/trunk/bin -lR
Note the extras, including a .def file.
If you use R 2.3.1 patched or R-devel you just don't need a Makefile and
you can use standard Fortran 9X.

You could use --export-all-symbols
