[Rd] Problem with compiling - Freebsd on AMD64 (PR#7489)

[kjblack at gmail.com]

Full_Name: Kelly Black
Version: 2.0.1
OS: FreeBSD 5.3 on AMD64
Submission from: (NULL) (149.106.32.93)


I downloaded R-2.0.1 from the R website, ran configure then make and got an
error. I will paste a copy of the output from the makefile below. The problem
was when the makefile tried to run the R binary. When I came across the error I
reran configure, but this time with the following arguments:

./configure FFLAGS="-g" CFLAGS="-g" CXXFLAGS="-g"

This time when I ran make it compiled with no problems. I tried the same thing
again only with all of the flags set to "-O" and again it compiled with no
problems. When I ran it with the flags set to "-g -O2" it had the same error. A
copy of the output from gdb can be found at
http://blackk.union.edu/~black/freebsd/R-error.txt, but the output isn't very
helpful.

The system used is a laptop, Compaq Presario (amd64), under FreeBSD 5.3 compiled
for the amd64 architecture.

Output from make with flags "-O2"
