I am running Windows 7 64 bit and the standard install (using mingw-get-inst)
for gfortran and it has been working fine for me (and I do make use of gfortran).

Believe your command line specification may be the problem... -c creates 
an object file only. See if "gfortran -o program.exe helloworld.f90" yields
better results.
