[R] R compilation error on Solaris

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Looks like a gcc/as mismatch.  You are using a version of gcc compiled on 
that machine with those exact paths (and not one using GNU as or a 
different version of Solaris)?

BTW, qtl does compile on a properly installed Solaris 8 system using gcc 
3.3: I've just checked.
