With the following changes, your example works for me on mingw64:

"-o" needs to be paired with a filename:

  gfortran -shared -O2 f90tojl.f90 -fPIC -o f90tojl.dll

This will allow your original ccall invocation to work. Julia doesn't look
at ".so" files by default on windows, but the following pair will also
work; the shared library extension is given explicitly in the ccall:

  gfortran -shared -O2 f90tojl.f90 -fPIC -o f90tojl.so
  julia> ccall( (:__m_MOD_five, "f90tojl.so"), Int, () )

Hope this helps to get started. I agree that it would be great to have a
working Fortran example -- if you have a suggested example (or even this
one) please consider making a pull request (see
https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
