[R] R on Linux/Opteron?

[Luke Tierney]

I've had a chance to build R-devel on one running SuSE (not sure which
release). confugure set things up for a 64-bit build that passed all
tests.  The base tests ran about 25% faster on the 1.4GHz opteron than
a2GHz Xeon. That's as much as I know at this point.
