Native for what? 32 bit linux on x86 architecture, 64 bit on x86, 32 bit 
on sparc, 64 bit on sparc??? I guess the latter, and there are no R 
binaries for linux on sparc available, AFAIK.

Conclusion: Compile yourself, so you can also make use of the SUN 
performance libraries (hope I remember name correctly) or ATLAS / Goto's 
BLAS.
