[Rd] crossprod(): g77 versus gfortran

[Benjamin Tyner]

Hi

I've got two builds of R, one using g77 (version 3.4.6) and the other
using gfortran (version 4.1.2). The two builds are otherwise identical
as far as I can tell. The one which used g77 performs crossprod()s
roughly twice as fast as the gfortran one. I'm wondering if this rings a
bell with anyone, and if so, are you aware of any configure settings
which will improve the performance when using gfortran. This is on RHEL 5.

Regards
Ben
