R-2.5.0 is soon to be released. From comments on this mailing list it seems that the default compiler will move from a custom install of GCC-4.0.3/gfortran to the version of GCC 4.0.1 supplied with Xcode 2.4.1 together with a gfortran compiler from say hpc.sourceforge.
In preparation for the new release, would it be possible to release the compiler specifications (especially the gfortran build, if what I assume above is correct). I would like to start to test build R and my packages/code and it does not make sense to do so with the wrong compilers. To be more precise I maintain a package (affxparser from Bioconductor) which does not work on Intel Macs, using the CRAN compilers. It seems to be a conflict between the libraries supplied for the CRAN GCC version and the system libraries and it was a rather difficult task to track it down. It did disappear when we tried compiling with Xcode 2.4.1 and a gfortran from hpc.sourceforge, indication that the bug "should" be fixed in the new R version. It is this "should", I want to investigate. But I assume other people wants to start their testing.
