Huh? Without /iface:stdcall all is fine.

Actually, what I am trying to do is to make a DLL with ifort 8.0
to replace an existing DLL what was built by CFV6.6 and is called from main built also by CVF6.6

Amusing. Please submit this to Intel support. This shouldn't prevent you from building a DLL, though. You don't want /iface:stdcall - use /iface:cvf instead. There's some significant differences.
