[R] problem compiling R-1.6.1 on WinNT: pcre

[Liaw, Andy]

Dear R-help,

(This is the first time I tried compiling 1.6.x from source on WinNT4, so
please bear with me...)

I tried following the instruction in src/gnuwin32/INSTALL as closely as I
could, but encounter the following errors at the make step.  Can some kind
soul please help?  I'm using pcre-3.9 and MinGW-2.0.0-3.  I checked and
libRpcre.a _is_ in src/extra/pcre.

TIA,
Andy
