[Rd] R-devel does not compile under FreeBSD-7.0 CURRENT

[Rainer Hurling]

You are right. Yesterday evening I did not understand the context 
between your presumption ('recent ObjC changes') and the make command 
from FreeBSD itself. Sorry.

I started a second try with R-devel (2006-11-29) and was able to compile 
and install with 'gmake && gmake install' instead of 'make && make install'.

If I understand right, I have to wait for next R-devel to try out the 
change with the suffix. I will report if I have tested it with 'make'.
