Deferred Default Marker

I've finally narrowed down a puzzling problem: here is the short test
case.

`__Deferred_Default_Marker__`

-----------------------------------------

Within the library is a definition of %*% for bdsmatrix objects, which
is perhaps the issue.  But I'm only guessing since I don't have a clear
idea what the error message means.  Any hints are appreciated.

The new coxme/bsdmatrix packages need only a couple more functions to be
a complete replacement for kinship, at which point we will depreciate
it. (Pedigrees and plotting were finished last weekend!)  But I can't
quite do that yet. The error does not arise with these newer libraries.
There have been no changes to kinship for some time.

Dear R developers,

I ran into some problems that I wish to get around.

Following the recommendation from "Building R for Windows" (Duncan's site) I was able to obtain some files from Brian's site for relevant tools for cross-compile. Initially I was able to cross-compile Windows packages happily with the setup I had based on R 2.7.0  (essentially as described in cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/cross-build.pdf) but got it entirely muddled up with R 2.11.0. I found this was actually not officially supported from R 2.9.0.

I then found I cannot even remove the Tcl directory (8-5-8) even I move or rename it. Is there a way to do that?

I wonder if there is an equivalent of i586-mingw32 (x86_64-w64-mingw32-) or I have to customise that myself. I got errors at various stage and at one time  i586-mingw32-nm could not recognise ch2inv.o that was generated. Perhaps I would get some headway with alternative. Perhaps I would need also reestablish my R 2.7.0 cross-compile to see if my initial build was just a fake.

Many thanks,
