[R] Irix 6.5: > is.na(c(1,NA)) #> FALSE FALSE

[George White]

R 0.63.2, compiled using SGI cc and f90 on Irix 6.5 gives:

> is.na(NA)
[1] TRUE                # OK
> is.na(c(1,NA))
[1] FALSE FALSE         # expected FALSE TRUE
> is.nan(NaN)
[1] FALSE               # expected TRUE
> is.nan(1/0)
[1] FALSE               # ditto

The above functions work correctly for R compiled with gcc and g77 on an
Irix 6.2 system.  The Irix 6.5 release notes explain that the test
(x!=x) will be compiled to "false" unless the command line option:

-OPT:IEEE_NaN_inf=ON

is supplied for the SGI compilers.
