Building R-2.6.0 fails on macppc

[jim smith <n0oct%sbcglobal.net@localhost>]

I'm cc'ing the macppc list on this to see if anyone else has experience
with this.

I'm trying to build R-2.6.0 on a macppc [G3] machine which has recently
been upgraded from 3.0-4.0.  I cvsup'd the pkgs and ran pkg_chk -f -u
-s to upgrade the packages [and they all appeared to upgrade].

I am now trying to build R for this machine, and it fails like this:

Any insights?  If it makes any difference, I *was* able to get this to
build on my sparc64 [NetBSD 4.0] machine at home [and produced the
binary package, too.]

Thanks.
