That is a rather old compiler. R on Intel Solaris works better with the
(free) Sun compilers, but I have built R on x86 Solaris with gcc 4.0.x
(I think 4.0.3): I have never made a 64-bit build work with gcc.
One thing to make sure is that the compiler was actually built for
Solaris 10 (and not say 9).
I have to say that most reports we have on non-native compilers on OSes
boil down to compiler bugs, and the first step is turn all optimization
off and see if the problem disappears.

Hi,
I downloaded 2.8.1 and tried to compile it using gcc 3.4.6. (simple install,
just ./configure, make, make check, make install)
I found that it compiled and went through the tests fine.
The foreign library, however, that seems to be segfaulting on me (see output
below). I did see an old posting about a similar problem, but there was no
resolution. Have other people experienced this at all?
Tia!
