Bill, this is just a quick note from down under ;). If you're building R- devel, I'm recommending latest Xcode (2.4.1 or higher) + HPC fortran.
For a joyful 64-bit gfortran experience you'll need Apple's gcc driver which I have provided (see my 64-bit Intel announcement e-mail on this list earlier - it has the full description, I can't test it here) and you also want to lipo usr/local/lib/x86_64/ libgfortran.?.?.?.dylib into usr/local/lib, because that's where it really belongs. Unfortunately HPC doesn't provide ppc64 target in the Intel gfortran which is a real pity, but we'll have to live with it... (for now) Anyway, the above will allow you to do CC='gcc -arch x86_64' F77='gfortran -arch x86_64' FC=... etc. And in fact you can run CC='gcc -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64' CPP='gcc -E' for readline, png, Xorg and friends - great fun.
