[Rd] failed stats check | R 2.9.0

[egc]

Trying to get R 2.90 compiled on a CentOS 5.3 (i.e., RHEL 5.3) box, 
64-bit. Machine has Opteron chips, so downloaded and installed ACML 
4.3.0. Configured R with

./configure --with-lapack="-L/usr/lib64" 
--with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.2.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml" --with-tcltk

Absolutely no problems/errors. Recommended packages there - blas and 
lapack both there.

Ran make. Again, no problems/errors that I could find.

Problems with make check, though.

base -> no problems
tools -> no problems
Devices -> no problems
graphics -> no problems

stats -> failed (!)

Here is what I get - suggestions/pointers to the obvious most appreciated.
