METIS and HSL MA57

Has anybody compiled the HSL package MA57 (solution of a sparse symmetric system of linear equations) with MeTiS?
MA57 calls METIS_NODEND.
However, the problem is that MA57 is a fortran code and libmetis.a is a C lib.
I am using cygwin with gcc and either g77 or gfortran.
Can anyone help me?
