Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I've noticed that r-cran-bayesm can't be built on ppc64el. It's because
some library paths are missing from the FLIBS variable defined in
/etc/R/Makeconf. The file /etc/R/Makeconf is coming from the package
r-base-core.
The attached patch adds the missing paths to FLIBS, only for ppc64el.
This way the package r-cran-bayesm could be built.
Thanks for considering the patch.
Erwan Prioul.
