Many thanks to Markus Lang and Brian Ripley for helpful answers. I have
now 0.63 up and running, but my solution worries me a little:

As pointed out by Brian, this is probably _not_ wrong.
The only fortran compiler available in RH5.2 seems to be fort77, and it is
apparently not a 'real' compiler, like g77. Does that matter?

I still think that 'make' should break here with a fatal error. This
happens when I try to make R-0.62.4.
I 'solved' the problem with 'illegal option' by simply removing
'-export-dynamic' from the Makefile in src/main. After 'make clean;
make; make install' it seems to work; I can run R. But, will I encounter
problems in the future?
A question about make, btw: When I run make, and the target R.binary is
missing, shouldn't make try to build it? It doesn't.
Finally, I have to correct my statement that I had succeeded with making
earlier versions of R. That's true, but not with RH5.2: I am running
R-0.62.4 on RH5.2, but it was built under RH5.1. This seems to indicate
that the upgrade RH5.1->RH5.2 is causing the problem. I still have
RH5.1 running at home; I will check what happens there and eventually
come back with a report.
