A few lines above the line "gcc -m64" suggests to check again and compile also with 32-bit. Did everything before foreign work smoothly? Which configure options have you specified? Any errors or warnings from configure?

You need to see the config.log for foreign. To do so, please 1) unpack src/library/Recommended/foreign.tgz in say /tmp 2) Run /path/to/R_HOME/bin/R CMD INSTALL /tmp/foreign 3) Look in /tmp/foreign/config.log HOWEVER, you still seem to have -m64 in foreign.ts.out: R is not going to have put that there, so it is something you did or something wrong in the configuration of your machine. I also do not get> configure: loading cache /dev/nullwhich I have never seen.
