make fails with Sun Forte compiler (PR#6815)
The instructions in R-admin *have* been tested. It does tell you how to specify the sunperf BLAS, so please read it -- it probably even selects it by default. I don't see any evidence of a bug in R here, rather of a problem in your setup. Please seek local advice. My suspicion is that you want "-xarch=v8plusa" in CFLAGS and not in CC. You might want to try untaring foreign and installing it, then looking at config.log. Please ask questions on R-help not R-bugs: the R FAQ explains rather plainly when R-bugs is appropriate.

I'm following the instructions for the Sun Forte compiler. I had success with
1.8.1 so I think the compiler settings are correct (config.site):
CC="cc -xarch=v8plusa"
CFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
F77="f95 -xarch=v8plusa"
FFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
CXX="CC -xarch=v8plusa"
CXXFLAGS="-xO5 -xlibmil -dalign"
Actually, there is one thing that I didn't specify above, but I'm not sure how.
The Sun Performance library is a BLAS library. In LAPACK, you specify it as
BLASLIB ="-xlic_lib=sunperf"
Is there a simple way to specify that in config.site? Anyways, that's probably
not the problem that I'm having, but if you have any advice...
Here's the real problem, make fails at:
MAKE="make" R_LIBS= ../../../bin/R CMD INSTALL -l ../../../library foreign.tgz
* Installing *source* package 'foreign' ...

foreign seems to be having a compiler problem that other recommended packages
did not. Any ideas?
