[R] Installation of R-1.4.1 on Solaris 2.7

[Prof Brian D Ripley]

These are (as far as I recall) the symptoms of using gcc compiled for
Solaris <=2.6 on Solaris 2.7.  As gcc makes copies of header files, it is
essential that it is re-compiled when the OS is upgraded.

R 1.4.1 compiles out of the box on Solaris 2,7 with the current gcc, 3.0.4,
and also with 2.95,3,
