[R] R solaris 64 (etc) build errors

[elw at stderr.org]

Hello folks,

I found the following message in the web archives from a month or so back 
- I've now encountered this same problem while trying to update our local 
builds of R (on Solaris) from ~2.2.0 to 2.4.x.

I've tried both the official 2.4.0 source tarball, as well as yesterday's 
R-patched source.

I'm doing my builds on a T2000 running Solaris 10, patched up to date as 
of a week or so back, using the Sun Studio 11 compilers.  Very generic 
build flags - the same flags worked perfectly using an older version of R. 
Nothing special going on, here.

I'd appreciate any help that listies can provide.  I'm willing to try out 
any suggestions that folks are able to come up with.

Thanks a bunch,

Which Solaris is this? I am not seeing any problems with our Solaris 8 
systems. Was the compiler built on that exact system? What gcc options 
were used (-std=gnu99, as recommended, for instance)?

It looks like a system header problem: __builtin_isnan ought to be built 
in, not an external entry point. Since R does not use it, you need to 
trace through the headers to see why isnan is expanding to it.
