[R] solaris 64 build?

[roger koenker]

We have a solaris/sparc machine that has been running an old version
of R-devel:  Version 2.2.0 Under development (unstable) (2005-06-04  
r34577)
which was built as m64 from sources.  Attempting to upgrade to 2.4.0  
the configure step
goes ok, but I'm getting early on from make:

I've tried to look at the difference in outcomes in the old R-devel
version --  if I touch arithmetic.c  there and then type make I get a  
something
almost the same as above except for the following  bits that are new  
to 2.4.0
(this diff is after replacing spaces with linebreaks obviously.)

ysidro.econ.uiuc.edu% diff t0 t1
54a55
 > localecharset.o
81a83
 > rlocale.o
101a104
 > mkdtemp.o
104a108,109
 > -L../../lib
 > -lRblas


Has there been some change in the way that Rblas is used, or in
isnan?  It didn't seem so from a look at arithmetic.c, but this is well
beyond me.

I hope that someone sees something suspicious, or could point me
toward a better diagnostic.  Thanks,

Roger
