Is there anything done before the first prompt to initialize the IEEE
NaN, Inf and -Inf?

I do have the -ieee_with_no_inexact flag being passed to gcc.  The end
of the configure output shows

 R is now configured for alpha-dec-osf4.0

   Source directory:         .
   Installation directory:   /usr/local
   C compiler:               gcc -ieee_with_inexact -g -O2
   FORTRAN compiler:         f77
