[Rd] Error compiling R on RS6000 (PR#475)

[pgutwin@us.ibm.com]

(sorry - gcc changed underneath me and I was getting a bogus compile error)
I am now getting the same results: Illegal Instruction. I did a little
poking around and found (I think) that during a return following an
UNPROTECT the code is jumping to address #000000. Does this help any?

Hi,

  I'll assume Paul meant config.site which contains all the extra
  compiler and linker flags and those flags are somewhat involved in
  his environment.  Triggered by Paul's email I tried to
  compile R-1.0.0.  It compiles cleanly but dies with "Illegal
  Instruction" upon start.  Sorry, I don't have any further insight
  into this problem at this time.

  I've been working on my Linux box instead of the my AIX workstation
  lately, so I didn't see this earlier.  Actually I've been so busy
  using R, that I've missed to congratulate on the release or 1.0.
  Thanks to all who work on R which has been a tremendous help for me!

  -tom
