I meant the issues are with gcc - SunStudio is ok.

I would be nice to be able to build R with gcc though. I know the gcc compiler 
is inferior, but some systems don't have SunStudio. For a project like Sage, we 
have 100 packages, and R is the only one that needs SunStudio to build. (I'd 
rather build the whole of Sage with SunStudio, but there are too many GNUisms 
for that). So I might have to use two compilers, which is a real pain in the butt
