That makes sense.  What I noticed immediately was that the line in the
summary output from the configure script was missing the messages
about BLAS.

I'm using:

    $ gfortran --version
    GNU Fortran 95 (GCC 4.1.0 20050517 (experimental))

Am able to build R-patched without problem and _was_ able to build
R-devel a few weeks ago with the same tools.
