R devel - Nov 2002 - gcc 3.2.1

gcc 3.2.1 is out and avoids the warnings about -I/usr/local/include
shown by 3.1 and 3.2.

Unfortunately, it seems to generate invalid code on 32-bit Solaris 2.7.
(64-bit code via -m64 is OK.)  On two separate installations
example(Bessel) crashes in graphics.c because dd is not being passed down
from clipText correctly.  I don't think that is all, as compiling
graphics.c under gcc-3.2 leads to other errors elsewhere.  So use gcc-3.2.1
with caution on Solaris.

Same is true for gcc-3.3 on Darwin -- it compiles R without
problems. No /usr/local/include warnings, and example(Bessel)
runs fine. Source in the Darwin CVS, it is merged with recent FSF
patches, has support for Objective-C++, and can be
cross-compiled for x86. Darwin persons can get the binaries
from http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub (unpack in root).
