[Rd] Buidling R on Linux (Itanium) fails (PR#7897)

[Christophe Pouzat]

Hi,

here is the "configure" command line I used for an Intel PIV processor 
with icc, ifort and the intel mkl:

./configure CC=icc CFLAGS="-O2 -mp -prec_div" F77=ifort CXX=icc 
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mp -prec_div" FFLAGS="-C90 -w90 -w95 -mp -prec_div" 
CPICFLAGS=-shared CXXPICFLAGS=-shared FPICFLAGS=-shared 
SHLIB_LDFLAGS=-shared SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS=-shared --with-blas="-lmkl_lapack 
-lmkl -lguide -lpthread"

In my experience using "FPICFLAGS=-shared" is mendatory to get the 
compilation working. The other options are mainly there to pass almost 
all the tests (except one) of "make check".

Xtof.

A Master Carpenter has many tools and is expert with most of them.If you
only know how to use a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.
Stay away from that trap.
