R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.6

  Source directory:         .
  Installation directory:   /unsup/R-0.64.2
  C compiler:               gcc -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:         g77 -O2
  Gnome support:            no

$ gcc --version
egcs-2.91.66
$ g77 --version
GNU Fortran 0.5.24-19981002

"make check" later fails.  The failure is in the test of the eigen()
function.  The specific example is:
Segmentation Fault - core dumped

I don't have this problem under Solaris 2.7 using gcc and Sun Workshop f77

wompom% gcc --version

This is very likely the same trouble that I just spent some time
analyzing with Vin Everett on Sparc Linux (RedHat 6.0). We traced it
to something that looks suspiciously like a compiler error. I actually
considered asking around if anyone used same egcs version on Solaris,
but though "nah, probably not"....

Doug, could you 

- recompile eigen.o with -g 
- run it with -d gdb
- see if the crash resembles the one below
