[R] solaris 64 build?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

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.
