[R] Building under IRIX 6.5 (report)

[Manfred W. Baumstark]

On my IRIX system (SGI compilers, gcc not installed) ./configure runs fine,
but there is a problem with make (output below) that can be solved by
changing one line in src/modules/lapack/Makefile. If this line is changed,
make runs without problems. 'make check' still has a problem 
(sh[14]: /usr/sbin/perl: arg list too long), but I assume this is
"cosmetic".
