[R] core dump during make check when building 64-bit R on Solaris 8/9

[CHAN Chee Seng]

Hi,

I am building a 64-bit R 2.0.1 on Solaris 9.  The compiler is Sun Studio
8.  Make was successful but I have a core dump during a make check.  By
the way, this problem also happens on my Solaris 8 machine though I did
not get a core dump.  I do not have 64-bit versions of the readline,
tcl/tk, libncurses, etc libraries so these caused configure not to use
them with ELFCLASS32 errors.

I use the following flags in config.site:
CC="cc -xarch=v9"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
F77="f95 -xarch=v9"
FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
CXX="CC -xarch=v9"


I pasted the make check error messages below:
$ make check
collecting examples for package 'base' ...
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package 'base'
     Formats: text html latex example 
running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `base-Ex.Rout'
Current working directory /export/home/cheeseng/R-2.0.1/tests/Examples
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-Examples-Base'
Current working directory /export/home/cheeseng/R-2.0.1/tests/Examples

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test-all-basics'
Current working directory /export/home/cheeseng/R-2.0.1/tests
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check'


The last few lines in base-Ex.Rout.fail is:
> ### * kappa
> 
> flush(stderr()); flush(stdout())
> 
> ### Name: kappa
> ### Title: Estimate the Condition Number
> ### Aliases: kappa kappa.default kappa.lm kappa.qr kappa.tri

[1] 15.70590


Doing a dbx on the core dump shows that the following:
program terminated by signal SEGV (no mapping at the fault address)
0xffffffff790fdf54: ___pl_dgesdd_64_+0x1654:    std      %f4, [%o1]

I hope some one have a more successful build and can show how you did
it.
