[R-SIG-Mac] 64-bit build from source ... 64bit readline oddity solved; libiconv now solved

I am using

configure --with-aqua --with-blas='\''-framework vecLib'\'' --with- 
lapack --prefix=/usr/local/R --disable-R-framework --with-readline -- 
with-cairo --enable-memory-profiling --enable-R-shlib --x-includes=/ 
usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --build=x86_64-apple- 
darwin10 --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10 --target=x86_64-apple-darwin10

with OS X 10.6 and a GNU svn build of gcc-4.2 and gfortran-4.2. The  
resulting R has the quartz device as well, but cannot be used directly  
with R.app. It also builds with the gcc-4.2 that comes with Xcode 3.2,  
which I use for OBJC anyway, and maybe with Simon's gfortran (haven't  
tried). Of course this is not a universal binary. I don't think 10.6  
or Xcode 3.2 are essential.

My C, CXX, F, FC flags are

-m64 -O3 -fopenmp -mtune=native

and my LDFLAGS are

-m64 -fopenmp

For otool -L libR.dylib I get

libR.dylib:
	libR.dylib (compatibility version 2.10.0, current version 2.10.0)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/vecLib  
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 268.0.0)
	/usr/local/lib/libintl.8.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current  
version 9.2.0)
	/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/ 
CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 549.0.0)
	/usr/local/lib/libreadline.6.0.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0,  
current version 6.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libicucore.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current  
version 40.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current  
version 123.0.0)
	/usr/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current  
version 7.0.0)

Of course cairo, tcltk, jpeg, png, ... use additional stuff from /usr/ 
local.

Why am I using this instead of Simon's excellent work ? I have no  
idea. It feels a bit embarrassing.
