Correct, it is very old (the date shows 2008).  But then so are the 
lapack sources, and that file is unchanged since 2006 (and R compiled on 
Linux perfectly well over those years).  So if R compiled on this system 
before, the system has changed ....

Your first port of call is to see if there are missing patches on your 
OS, then report to the vendor.  I might see if a lower optimization 
level would work.
