Yes.  This happened for me with (vanilla released) gcc 4.3.0 on F8 x86_64 
too.  Turning optimization off for both C and Fortran solved it -- I've 
not yet had time to track down what you need not to optimize.  I'll try to 
do that this evening.

As I understand it, CRAN is successfully building R with a Debian x86_64 
build of gcc 4.3.0, but several packages are failing in that 
configuration.
