[R] R-2.5.0 compilation problem on Linux powerpc

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Is this ppc32 or ppc64?  (What does uname -a say?)

If the former, you might need to set CPICFLAGS and FPICFLAGS to -fPIC 
(rather than -fpic): please look these up in the R-admin.html file (which 
INSTALL points you to).

For ppc64 configure should have found -fPIC.
