syntax error in memory.c when building R-devel on AIX

From: Prof Brian Ripley

That statement was added yesterday (not by me) and needed moving up a 
line. Which version do you have?  The current one has

 	    Rboolean success = FALSE;
 	    s = NULL; /* initialize to suppress warning */

and passes all my tests.  The previous one had those two 
lines reversed 
and worked on gcc (with a warning) but failed on Solaris' cc 
(and was not 
legal ISO C90).

OK, this is really a new one for me.  Just thought I'd try 

building R-devel

(2005-03-15) on our AIX power machines and see if there are 

any problems.  I

used the settings in the Appendix B of R-admin, using the 

set of variables

that Tim Hoar used (i.e., trying to build 64-bit R using 

native compilers).

configure ran fine, but `gmake' gave me a syntax error when 

compiling

src/main/memory.c.  The offending line seems to be:

   Rboolean success = FALSE;

Can anyone provide pointers?

(Just to make sure, I tried building it on our SLES9-x86_64 

box, and that

passes make check.)
