[Rd] make check on DU4 with R-1.1.0 snapshot

[Albrecht Gebhardt]

I just tried the rsync version of R-1.1.0 on one of my alphas:
It compiles without problems (gcc/g77 2.95.2, system is DU4.0E)
but make check stops in base-Ex.R at

> X <- cbind(1, 1:7)
> str(s <- svd(X)); D <- diag(s$d)
List of 3
 $ d: num [1:2] 12.07  1.16
 $ u: num [1:7, 1:2] -0.0976 -0.1788 -0.2601 -0.3413 -0.4225 ...
 $ v: num [1:2, 1:2] -0.198 -0.980 -0.980  0.198
> stopifnot(abs(X - s$u %*% D %*% t(s$v)) < Eps)#  X = U D V'
Error: abs(X - s$"u" %*% D %*% t(s$"v")) < Eps is not TRUE
Execution halted

if I repeat all the svd tests manually I get:

>
> hilbert <- function(n) { i <- 1:n; 1 / outer(i - 1, i, "+") }
> str(X <- hilbert(9)[,1:6])

and the errors are:

4.440892e-16 and 3.108624e-15 

Eps was: 
> Eps
[1] 2.220446e-15
This seems to be ok, I tried in Fortran

      EPSMCH=DLAMCH('E')
      WRITE(*,*)"eps:",EPSMCH

and got 
 eps:  2.22044605E-16

I compiled --whithout-dxml, so I'm not using any special numeric library.

When I comment out the few lines for svd the tests from base-Ex.R complete
successfully.

All other tests succeed (other libraries and strict and sloppy specific
tests)
