[Rd] R 3.2.2 64 bit compilation error on AIX

[Vinh Nguyen]

Dear list,

I'm following the instructions provided here to compile R 64 bit on
AIX 6.1.  I did

export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CC="gcc -maix64 -pthread"
export CXX="g++ -maix64 -pthread"
export FC="gfortran -maix64 -pthread"
export F77="gfortran -maix64 -pthread"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
export FFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
export FCFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
./configure
make -j 16

and it errors out at

gcc -maix64 -pthread -std=gnu99 -I../../../../include -DNDEBUG
-I../../../include -I../../../../src/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I../../../../src/main -I/usr/local/include  -mminimal-toc    -O2 -g
-mcpu=power6  -c gramRd.c -o gramRd.o

gcc -maix64 -pthread -std=gnu99 -shared -Wl,-brtl -Wl,-G -Wl,-bexpall
-Wl,-bnoentry -lc -L/usr/local/lib -o tools.so text.o init.o Rmd5.o
md5.o signals.o install.o getfmts.o http.o gramLatex.o gramRd.o -lm

I tried going all the way back to R 2.15.3 and I still get this error.
Any suggestions for fixing this?  Thanks.
