I've downloaded gcc 2.95, and installed R-1.7.0
It appears to config properly, the config.out is at the following URL:
http://www.phineas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/config.log
Running make does not appear to work
the errors are summarized:
bash: ar: command not found
*** Error code 127
make: Fatal error Command failed for target 'libappl.a'
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'R'
Current Working directory /R_HOME/R-1.7.0/src/appl
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'R'
Current  working directory /R_HOME/R-1.7.0/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target 'R'

Running make check FORCE=FORCE
gives

'Makedeps' is up to date
make: Fatal error don't know how to make target '../../bin/R.bin

<SNIP>

I run the R script and get /.../.../../R-1.7.0/bin/R.bin: not found

On Solaris ar is in /usr/ccs/bin: do you have that in your path? It
contains other tools needed to compile/build programs. (I suspect one can
install Solaris without those tools.)

Where did you get gcc from?  For the version on www.sunfreeware.com you
need binutils too (see the R-admin manual).  (BTW 2.95 looks strange:
3.2.3 is current, but some people still use 2.95.3, but not 2.95.)
