Installation of R-1.4.1 on Solaris 2.7

# 
I am trying to install R-1.4.1 on the Solaris 2.7 OS by compiling the
source code.  Unfortunately, I obtain a fatal error during make
(apparently while using gcc to compile arithmetic.c).  The configure
command seemed to work acceptably (end of output follows).

--(snip)--

R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.7

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local
  C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2
  C++ compiler:              c++  -g -O2
  FORTRAN compiler:          g77  -g -O2

  X11 support:               yes
  Gnome support:             no
  Tcl/Tk support:            no

  R profiling support:       yes
  R as a shared library:     no

configure: warning: you cannot build info versions of the R manuals

--(snip)--

I don't have the latest version of makeinfo installed, hence the above
warning, which I'm not concerned about.  What does concern me is the error
message from make (which is longer, and follows).  Any suggestions as to
how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

These are (as far as I recall) the symptoms of using gcc compiled for
Solaris <=2.6 on Solaris 2.7.  As gcc makes copies of header files, it is
essential that it is re-compiled when the OS is upgraded.

R 1.4.1 compiles out of the box on Solaris 2,7 with the current gcc, 3.0.4,
and also with 2.95,3,
