[R-SIG-Mac] FIXED - Error compiling gnlm package from source -FIXED

[Jan de Leeuw]

Yesterday I installed all the Lindsey packages with gcc/gfortran 4.0.1.

Except for one or two small trivial changes because of "old" fortran,  
there
were no problems whatsoever. Also, if you use the new cctools from
Xcode-2.2 there is no need for cc_dynamic.

As far as I can see there are no reasons for using gcc-3.x any more,
because most package authors now have corrected the "old" fortran
code.
