[R] Problerm building R-1.7.0 on OpenBSD3.2/sparc64

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Looks like that OS wants all symbols resolved: those are all variables
exported by R.bin.

1) See if there is a ld flag to allow unresolved symbols.

2) (something of a kludge)  configure with --enable-R-shared and
rebuild (from scratch), as this will link against the libR.so.
Whether that works correctly will be OS-dependent, since you realy want 
them resolved against R.bin when methods.so is loaded.

Wrong flags, probably.
