That is not possible: all dummy arguments of a BIND(C) routine must be 
interoperable - for procedures that requires BIND(C).

It would be reasonable to extend C_FUNLOC and C_F_PROCPOINTER to permit 
non-interoperable procedures, similarly to how we permit non-interoperable 
variables in C_LOC and C_F_POINTER.  Then the argument could be C_FUNPTR (by 
value).  I don't know whether this would help you though.

No problem.
