R 64 on Intel Mac check problem

I have installed gcc 4.2 and gfortran 4.2 from the available sources  
on the
web page and am using the copy and paste guide on the page.

Now everything seems to be going fine until the point where the R  
packages
are tested. In particular when the regression tests are run I get the
following.

running regression tests
running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ...\c
OK
running code in 'reg-tests-2.R' ...\c
OK
comparing 'reg-tests-2.Rout' to './reg-tests-2.Rout.save' ...\c

It may or may not be relevant, but there is a catastrophic bug in  
log10() in 10.5.2 for x86_64: it returns 0 for all arguments.  This  
has been discussed on the Scitech list.  Apple think they have fixed  
it, but I am sure they would want to hear of other cases or possible  
compiler issues, if it is their compiler you are using.

So if you can get a minimal test case it would be very good to submit  
a bug.  It may be worth doing even if you cannot get a minimal case  
because all the sources are readily available.

Finally last time I looked a few days back Simon's 64 bit Intel builds  
were failing.
