Sorry, I was a bit sparing with details. Early in the morning, and all that.
Many thanks for the swift reply!

What OS and hardware is this?
Hardware: 700+ machines are 800 MHz Pentium III, 1 GB RAM, Red Hat 7.2 168 machines are dual 2.8 GHz Xeon, 4 GB RAM, Red Hat 8.0
I'm compiling on the older machines to make sure there won't be library problems.
The compiler versions are:
Intel(R) C++ Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.0 Build 20031016Z Package ID: l_cc_p_8.0.055
Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.0 Build 20040412Z Package ID: l_fc_pc_8.
Eventually you mention `X86 Linux' but are
you using x86 Linux and if so how fast processors? On a 3GHz machine make
check takes a couple of minutes using gcc (and in our experience Portland
Group is faster than gcc -- we have not tried Intel as local advice
suggests it is slower than PG).
So 12 hours is bit excessive. :-) At least now I know. Thanks!
Which version of R? R 1.9.0 does this with gcc 3.4.0 on Linux ix86, at the first use of LAPACK.
Ah. This is indeed 1.9.0, since that is what was asked for.
So if you are not trying 1.9.1beta (to be
released on Monday), please do so. After that, make check does give
output so where exactly does it hang, and if you interrupt that check, how
far has it got in the output file?
With 1.9.0, I never get an output file. On interrupting the make check, it says:
make[4]: *** Deleting file `base-Ex.Rout'
and hangs again. I have to background it and kill it.
The same thing happens with 1.9.1. I think I'll use gcc/g77 as suggested by others to get a working install for now, and then I will look into a better optimised version at a more leisurely pace.
