There is essentially this code in the mpich/src/binding/f77/configure.in 
file, since it needs to do essentially the same thing.
For testing purposes, you could set

NF_INT1_IS_C_SIGNED_CHAR
NF_INT2_IS_C_SHORT
NF_INT4_IS_C_INT
NF_REAL_IS_C_FLOAT
NF_DOUBLEPRECISION_IS_C_DOUBLE

This will be correct for the vast majority of platforms.
