R devel - Feb 2006 - Problem during "make" with the devel version R-2.3.0 under Sun OS

Hello R users and developers,

I had a problem when I tried to install  the last version of R-devel.
I know that this R version is an unstable version and that this problem 
may be irrelevant.
I am  maintaining a R package  thus I check if this package can be 
installed with the development version.
( Everinthing is fine with the R-patched)

The details are the following:

My machine:
System:  SunOS 
Release: 5.9
Kernel ID : Generic_117171-07
Machine : sun4u
Processor :sparc
Platform : SUNW Sun-Fire-880

R version
 2.3.0 Under development (unstable)

SVN:
Revision: 37414
Last Changed Date: 2006-02-22

Results    affer configure:

R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.9

  Source directory:          .
  Installation directory:    /usr/local

  C compiler:                gcc  -g -O2 -std=gnu99
  Fortran 77 compiler:       g77  -g -O2

  C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
  Fortran 90/95 compiler:    f90

  Interfaces supported:      X11, tcltk
  External libraries:        readline
  Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
  Options enabled:           R profiling


The problem during make:


gcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 
-I../../src/extra/pcre  -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include 
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -g -O2 -std=gnu99 -c plot.c -o plot.o
gcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2 
-I../../src/extra/pcre  -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include 
-I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -g -O2 -std=gnu99 -c plot3d.c -o 
plot3d.o
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/tmp/ccYv732b.s", line 7057: error: constant value 
must be between -4096 and 4095
make[3]: *** [plot3d.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/bge/penel/R-devel/src/main'
make[2]: *** [R] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/bge/penel/R-devel/src/main'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/bge/penel/R-devel/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1

I did not found any report about this problem in the R-devel archives . 
Should I wait and try a next version of R-devel?

thanks for your help, I hope this mail is not irrelevant

This is a compiler error (generating invalid assembler), not an R error. 
What compiler version is this?

I have no problem compiling the current R-devel (37422) on Solaris with 
gcc-3.4.5 or gcc-4.0.2 (and using the Sun assembler as you are).  I have 
seen problems with plot3d with earlier versions of gcc-4.
