[R] Build on Solaris 8 gcc-3.1 fails make check

[Chin-Shan Chuang]

Hi, I also seem to have the same problem.

A related question -- are NAs and NaNs supposed to be the same in R?
If they are not, wouldn't it be more appropriate for var(1) to return 
NaN and to take out the test 
"stopifnot( is.na(var(1)), !is.nan(var(1)) )"? 
(Presumably NA is used to denote a missing value, and var(1) is not
missing.)

Excluding this test, I also found that make check fails at the step
"stopifnot( ..., !is.nan(c(1,NA)), ... )" or line 7877 of base-Ex.R.
Could someone please comment on this as well? On this compiled 
version of R, I get !is.nan(c(1,NA)) returns TRUE FALSE although 
!is.nan(NA) returns TRUE. 

Thanks very much!
