IRIX build error of R-1.3.0 (and fix)

We've hade a lot of discussion about this on R-devel and elsewhere.
Basically the configure process is getting inconsistent answers.  Please do
not change those files, but change src/include/config.h to read

ok.. sorry.. quick fix on a Friday afternoon :)

-snip-.. now to libz

So if you are having problems, you must have an inconsistent header and
library and perhaps you should correct that?  Or is the test not working
and you do have an earlier version?

After further investigation, it turns out that I needed to pass an
LDFLAGS parameter to the configure line. My other architectures
(Solaris 2.6/8, AIX 4.3.1, Redhat 6.2/7.1) had been
happy with:

env R_PAPERSIZE=letter CPPFLAGS="-I/msrc/apps/include"
	LIBS="-L/msrc/apps/lib"
	./configure --prefix=/afs/msrc.pnl.gov/files/apps/R-1.3

But in the linking phase I then get the -L/msrc/apps/lib as the last of
the -L flags, so I end up getting the /usr/lib/libz.a instead of the one I
have stashed in /msrc/apps/lib/libz.a

adding a LDFLAGS="-L/msrc/apps/lib" to the above configure fixes the
problem I was having.

Thanks
