building r-devel on RedHat 7.1 with gcc 3.1.1

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

I suspect your LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not include wherever you installed the
gcc libs (/home/rpeng/install/gcc/lib?) and g77 >= 3.1 uses a shared
libg2c.  (It also uses a shared libgcc_s.)

In that case running anything built with g77 will not work, and configure
does not actually check that.

You can also get around this by specifying LDFLAGS: to get 64-bit Solaris
builds to work with gcc 3.2 I had to use

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/local/lib"

which is how I know about this (and I really expected gcc to sort that out
for me: the Sun compilers do).
