Yep, some very similar fix is going to get merged today.

This is basically the same problem as above and I will remove the
GNUism, i.e. the linker flags, from the makefile today.

This is only part of the porblem and likely not required.

The issue here is that SCons on Solaris has a preference for CC/cc
over g++/gcc. have a fix for that.

There are a couple issues at play here. On my Solaris 10 box libiconv
was installed and as is I did disable libiconv for R on OSX 64 bit.

Ok

This is not the final stage of the build, but the SCons fix mentioned
above does fix this issue, too. But you need some other fixes, which I
have also in my tree
Thanks for the feedback. As it is seems that there were no unknown
problems and all of the above issues have fixes in my tree. They just
need to be cleaned up and merged into 3.0.3.
Cheers,
Michael
