segfault on Sparc Linux (RH6.0)

[Martyn Plummer]

We are having problems building R on Red Hat Linux 6.0/Sparc.
R compiles with no problem but then it fails "make tests".
Specifically, the line

eigen(cbind(-1,c(1:2,0),0:2)) # complex values

causes a segmentation fault. Previous versions of Red Hat Linux
did not give this problem.

The eigen() function is one of the rare cases in the base library where
Fortran code is called via the .Fortran interface, which suggests to me
that the problem lies in the Fortran installation or flags.

Vin Everett, who is actually doing the compiling, has provided output
from gdb, which is given below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
