[R] compiling R-0.90.0 on alpha-dec-osf4.0

[Dr X Cai]

I am compiling R-0.90.0 on alpha-dec-osf4.0 and it stops by giving the
following message:

cc: Error: ../../../R/src/main/gram.y, line 1365: In this declaration, parameter 1 has a different type than specified in an earlier declaration of this function.
SEXP mkString(const char *s)
-----^
cc: Error: ../../../R/src/main/gram.y, line 1365: In this declaration, the type of "mkString" is not compatible with the type of a previous declaration of "mkString" at line number 378 in file ../include/Rinternals.h.
SEXP mkString(const char *s)
-----^
gmake[3]: *** [gram.o] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ming/R-0.90.0/src/main'
gmake[2]: *** [R] Error 2

gmake[1]: *** [R] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ming/R-0.90.0/src'

Your help would be greatly appreciated.
