I think this is a generic problem, unrelated to R: To use gcc-3.0.3
the assembler in /usr/ccs/bin/as is in sufficient. You need GNU as,
and obviously also to make sure that it is found before the one in
/usr/ccs. I have have built R succesfully on a system where the
following holds:

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.7       Generic October 1998
[pd@rubin pd]$ which as
/usr/local/bin/as
[pd@rubin pd]$ /usr/local/bin/as --version
GNU assembler 2.11.2

This assembler was configured for a target of `sparc-sun-solaris2.7'.
[pd@rubin pd]$ gcc --version
3.0.3

The assembler is part of binutils-2.11.2 installed from sunfreeware.com.
