[R] make? on Macos 10.2.4

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It is a known problem with the version of g77 you used: specifically with
libg2c, so Fortran code cannot be included in a dynamic library.  Jan de
Leeuw said gcc 3.3 (alpha)  worked, but otherwise you can use veclib: see
the R-admin manual under `MacOS X'.  Specifically, configure with

--with-blas="-framework vecLib" --with-lapack
