[R] R-2.12.0 problem on Solaris 10

[Zhang,Jun]

Thank you Dave for the reply. I used solstudio12.2, and followed the R admin installation instruction for Solaris. When I run R as the compiled result, there is a line "Platform: sparc-sun-solaris2.10 (32-bit)".

I meant the issues are with gcc - SunStudio is ok.

I would be nice to be able to build R with gcc though. I know the gcc compiler 
is inferior, but some systems don't have SunStudio. For a project like Sage, we 
have 100 packages, and R is the only one that needs SunStudio to build. (I'd 
rather build the whole of Sage with SunStudio, but there are too many GNUisms 
for that). So I might have to use two compilers, which is a real pain in the butt
