R help - Aug 1998 - R-beta: ld problem/SunOS/gcc/g77

In trying to compile R-0.62.2 on my SPARC SunOS: 

tajo% uname -a
SunOS tajo 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m

with gcc/g77,

I ran into 

gcc  -o R.binary [deleted] ../lib/libmath.a  -L/usr/openwin/lib -lX11  -ldl
-ltermcap -lm -lf2c
collect2: ld returned 2 exit status
ld: /lib/libm.a(lgamma.o): _gamma: multiply defined
ld: /lib/libm.a(lgamma.o): _lgamma: multiply defined
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `R.binary'
Current working directory /usr/local/RHOME/R-0.62.2/src/main
[rest deleted]

which I assume is due to some 'collision' of the various libraries
supplied by R, gcc, g77, and Sun.

I'm not very strong in sorting these things out and would appreciate
some guidance on what to change, what to check, where to look etc.

FWIW it returned the above message when I did nothing but issue
./configure and make, issued ./configure --with-g77, and when I did
the following in config.site:

.
.
.
 R_PAPERSIZE=letter
CC=gcc
FC=g77
LDCMD=gcc
LIBS=-lf2c
.
.
.

TIA,

Well, gamma and lgamma are indeed found in both -lm and in libmath.a,
but that usually doesn't bother the linker. Is there anything peculiar
about your setup, such as perhaps a very old gcc?
