[R] core dump on solaris 2.9

[Prof Brian Ripley]

[I presume this is sparc-Solaris, but you did not say.]

Please do as the INSTALL file asks and read the R-admin manual: this *is*
documented there!  That version of gcc is obselete, and unusable on
sparc-Solaris.  You will have to find a working compiler: if all else
fails, try turning optimization off completely (for C, C++ and Fortran).
