... it's not "breaking the build" - because if you go ahead ignoring the test, the build will be broken anyway, only silently - all of the affected vecLib functions will simply segfault - they just don't work with gfortran. I have a prototype work-around for this by creating wrapper functions and calling cblas_xx instead and I'm testing it right now, but it's ugly and will make it to R-devel only if it doesn't break anything else. I just repeat what I've said here already: unless you desperately need 64-bit R there is no real benefit from using gcc4, because it's still very instable (gfortran segfaults even on simple examples) and unreliable (gfortran is even slower than g77). There is a good reason why the CRAN build uses gcc3 and g77.
