I think I reported this bug in the past.  At that time, I was told that
it is a bug of autoconf.

./configure does not recognize Linux on DEC Alpha 21164PC (a cheap version
of Alpha EV56), so all the compilation flags were set incorrectly.  I
don't know the right way to fix it (I don't know how autoconf works
yet ...), but the following patch fixes the problem.

Thank you,
Naoki

In the documentation for data.entry, R-1.1.0 the description reads:

A spreadsheet-lie editor for entering or editing data. 

Perhaps we shouldn't encourage users to lie with statistics any more
than they already do? It seems especially egregious to lie when entering
data.

Looks like a Freudian slip, from the mere mentioning of spreadsheets

The config.sub file is part of the GNU automake package and is meant to be
used as is.  The version on my system (automake-1.4) does have an entry for
alphapca5[67], so I guess the config.sub that comes with R just needs to
be replaced with an up-to-date version.
