I downloaded R-devel and compiled it with pgcc. This time, instead of 
breaking in src/main, compilation breaks in src/modules with the 
following error messages.

Though src/main directory compiled successfully, I do still get warning

PGC/x86-64 Linux/x86-64 6.0-5: compilation completed with warnings


One last thing that I notice is the errors messages in config.log. 
Should I consult these error messages with Portland Group, or R-devel 
can help me out on this?
