[R] error when compiling "stats" library in R-2.3.1 on Solaris x86

[Prof Brian Ripley]

How did 'cc -xtarget=generic64' get there?  AFAIK R does not know about 
it, so presumably you specified it for CC.  You need to do the same thing 
for *all* the compilers, that is CC, CXX, F77 and FC.

The INSTALL file asked you to read the R-admin manual: there you will find 
a very similar example for 64-bit Sparc Solaris.  That uses -xarch, which 
seems preferred to -xtarget (or at least to generic targets).
