R-beta: Query: installing 0.50-a1 on Solaris 2.5.1

[Simon Fear]

Can anyone spot the problem here. Following is an edited script of the install 
session. The gist is: 

* syntax error in original src/main/dotcode.c

Easily remedied (or at least, such that compiles without error message ... )

change line 449-450 (two lines preceding return)

#ifdef HAVE_F77_UNDERSCORE
    if(PRIMVAL(op)) {
        *q++ = '_';
        *q = '\0';
#endif
    }
    return mkString(buf);
}
    	
to

    }
#endif

But then load complains of hundreds of undefined symbols in, surprise surprise, 
dotcode.o.

Alternatively, setting F77=no in config.site, the above does not generate a 
syntax error, but the same load problems occur.

I thought the problem might be in my temporary lack of access to NFS-mounted f77 
libraries; but surely F77=no version should work?
