FWIW, the specific problem seems to be with 

static const int hw = 0;
static const int  lw = 1;

and their use in array style indexing like this:

	y.word[lw] == 1954
	y.word[lw] != 1954

R passes 'make check' on my Solaris 8 Blade 100 with -O2 when *either*
'const' is dropped or ' *(y.word + lw) == 1954 ' style indexing is used.
