Just a thought.

According to http://r.research.att.com/tools/ shouldn't you be using gcc 5664 on Snow Leopard.
If I read the tools page correctly you seem to be using a Lion version of gcc.
On my 10.6.8 I have

[.../~]: gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[.../~]: gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)
