[Rd] Build failure with this morning's R-alpha

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Note that libR.so was itself linked against -lm, so should resolve its 
dependencies there.  The front end has never been linked against -lm, nor
do I see that anything should have changed for a long time in the 
front-end.

I was able to build a shared-library version of the current svn 36743 (I 
was unable to identify which 'last night' this was, and 
'r-base-2.2.1.svn37626' seemed contradictory) from scratch on FC3 on ix86 
and x86_64 (and I built a slightly earlier version on Solaris yesterday).
