[R] Problems Building Ron AIX 5.2.0.0 (Solved)

Happily I got this to work, largely by trial-and-error. In hopes that this will
help somebody else, my config.site ended up being:
OBJECT_MODE=64
R_PAPERSIZE=letter
CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc
MAIN_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-brtl
SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-Wl,-G
Which is virtually identical to that recommended in R-admin: one of my problems
was using "-W1,brtl" rather than "-W1,-brtl". This was R 2.0.1
on AIX 5.2.0.0 with GCC 3.3.2
The previous messages I'd posted on this issue are included below.

============================================================
My apologies -- I had believed that by linking the source message I
had made the detailed context available. I will be more careful in
the future to correctly give full context.
