R-beta: trouble compiling 0.62.3 on SunOS 4.1.4: lgamma conflicts

[Ben Bolker]

  I've recently tried to get 0.62.3 up on our Suns (4.1.4, using gcc; I'm
also having trouble with a Solaris 2.6 compile but I haven't given up hope
on that one yet) -- the last compile I did was 0.61.1, which worked
smoothly.
 
 Running

 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/R/R-0.62.3  [--with-g77]
  (tried both with and without g77, eventually get to the same place),
I get a conflict with the function lgamma being defined both in R and in
the system's libm.a file: 

make
[snip]
cd main; make
g77  -o R.binary arithmetic.o  [snip] version.o ../lib/libgraphics.a
../lib/libunix.a  ../lib/libappl.a  ../lib/libmath.a -lSM -lICE
-L/usr/lib/X11 -lX11  -ldl -ltermcap -lm
collect2: ld returned 2 exit status
ld: /lib/libm.a(lgamma.o): _gamma: multiply defined
ld: /lib/libm.a(lgamma.o): _lgamma: multiply defined
*** Error code 1

  lgamma appears to be defined both in 

    ./src/nmath/lgamma.c  -> ./src/lib/libmath.a

   and in /lib/libm.a.

We have a fairly poorly configured system, but 0.61.1 compiled fine;
that version appeared to have a corresponding ./src/math/lgamma.c that was
compiled into ./src/lib/libmath.a, but didn't cause a conflict.

  Any ideas?  I hope I'm not being really foolish.
