[Rd] R-1.7.0 build feedback: NetBSD 1.6 (PR#2837)

[beebe at math.utah.edu]

R-1.7.0 built on NetBSD 1.6, but the validation test suite failed:

Machinetype:            Intel Pentium III (600 MHz);    NetBSD 1.6 (GENERIC)
Remote gcc version:     gcc (GCC) 3.2.2
Remote g++ version:     g++ (GCC) 3.2.2
Configure environment:  CC=gcc CXX=g++ LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib

I forced the tests to run with "make -i check", getting output like
this:

running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...make[4]: [base-Ex.Rout] Error 1 (ignored)
 OK

This is followed by 9900+ lines of differences.
