[Rd] Problems building R 2.9.0... on SGI and Sun once again

[Atro Tossavainen]

I've successfully built R 2.9.0 on Linux (amd64, i386 and ppc), but am
having a bit of trouble with legacy boxen.  What should have gone into
the variable that is empty at the time it is used in "for f in $SOMETHING"
and why does it end up being empty?

Solaris 8 with Sun Studio 11 compilers:

building package 'methods'
gmake[4]: Entering directory `/scratch/atossava/R-2.9.0/src/library/methods'
all.R is unchanged
/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/bin/bash: -c: line 1: `for f in ; do  if test -f ./${f}; then  ../../../tools/install-sh -c -m 644 ./${f}  ../../../library/methods;  fi;  done'
gmake[4]: *** [front] Error 2
gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/scratch/atossava/R-2.9.0/src/library/methods'

IRIX 6.5 with MIPSpro 7.4.4 compilers:

building package 'methods'
gmake[4]: Entering directory `/wrk/atossava/R-2.9.0/src/library/methods'
all.R is unchanged
/bin/sh: syntax error at line 1 : `;' unexpected
gmake[4]: *** [front] Error 2
