Fortran 90 (and later) has this capability with module interfaces, which 
resemble to C function prototypes.
However, I don't think FFTW uses it, although I haven't used FFTW in a 
while to be sure about it.
Smuggling various parameter types across the same subroutine interface 
seem to have been a desired feature of
older Fortran.

Are there any Fortran compilers that can actually check the subroutine 
parameter number, type,
array dimensions, etc, through mere compilation flags? 
I don't remember any, the language features are probably not enough to 
ensure such checks
(except for Fortran 90 as noted above).

Glad to know your code now works!
