Thank you for the update, Hsiu-Khuern. Can you check how many digits scientific notation shows? I was able to build a 64bit version of R using the mingw64 4.8.4 distro, but ran into trouble with compat.c, and the only work-around I found ended breaking R's defualt two digit notation and used Windows's three-digit notation; it seems as if you did not have this problem. Also, do you plan on running 'make check' eventually on your build?
