[R] R 1.9.1 compilation error (on AIX 5.1)

[Liaw, Andy]

xlc/xlf are IBM compilers.  I don't know if they are bundled with the OS.
GCC is free, but not necessarily found on all AIX systems (unless IBM
decided to bundle GCC with AIX, which would seem odd to me...).

Can't really help you here:  The GCC on our AIX is too outdated to try.
