[R] compile R on Solaris 9

[Don MacQueen]

I had the same failure on both a Solaris 2.8 system and a 2.9 system 
on Monday, but did not report it right away as I had not yet searched 
R-admin and other documentation for relevant information.

The configure flag  --disable-largefile   resulted in a successful 
make on the 2.8 system.

On the 2.9 system connections.c succeeded, but make then failed later on.
That being a separate problem, I'll ask for help in a separate message, later.

This is with    Version 2.3.0 Patched (2006-04-29 r37946)
