Bug#361604: r-base: FTBFS (ppc64): sibling call optimization to `bratio' does not allow automatic multiple TOCs; recompile with -mminimal-toc ...
What I get from this is that ppc64 needs -mminimal-toc at least when building a shared libR.so. pbeta.c has actually been simplified a lot, so I guess this may not actually be related to that but rather to the progress of the linker. Note that the message is about a failed optimization. I have seen those far too often in gcc 4.0.x (you cannot even compile R on i686 with -O2 on gcc 4.0.[123] on our FC3 system). As such I don't think it is something we want to hardcode into R's configure, but I will add a note to the manual. I presume this the GNU linker. I suspect that gcc on ppc64 can be used with other linkers (and maybe usually is on AIX and MacOS X), so we would have to apply the flag very specifically.

Bug#361219: patch
Dirk, [I didn't get reusable headers from Kurt as he forwarded an attachment.] This was changed based on quite explicit advice in Ulrich Drepper's DSO paper to use -fpic wherever possible as it can be lot faster. See http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf, e.g. `-fpic should be used at all times unless it is absolutely necessary to use -fPIC'. This was part of a concerted effort to close the performance gap between standalone and shared-library versions of R (and we seem to have about halved it). ppc32 is a platform where R can be compiled with -fpic and it does have a performance advantage. So in principle does m68k, but I last used that in 1989. (We have been told that the Apple versions of gcc have -fpic = -fPIC on ppc.) I would be very reluctant to change back to -fPIC everywhere, although an alternative approach would be to make -fPIC the default and use -fpic on ppc32 and m68k.

Bastian, could you please document on which architectures, and for which gcc versions, this fails? R actually has a pretty darn good record of building on many platforms and gcc variants, as well as a few non gcc compilers, so I do not want to discard the accumulated experience from the R side this early. I'm sure we get this resolved in a way that makes everybody happy, and gets R to build everywhere. Thanks, Dirk -- Brian D.

Bug#356107: fseries_221.10065-1(m68k/unstable/spice): ftbfs on m68k

On such a minority platform (I last used m68k in the 1980s) and with an end-of-line gcc version I can see you might not want to do so. Generally g77 is still more reliable than gfortran at building R packages, but with 4.0.2 and 4.1.0 the gap has closed a lot. I will probably migrate to 4.1.0 on Linux/Solaris shortly (MinGW is another story). -- According to Stephen, gfortran 4.0 compiles it fine so maybe once I turn from gcc/g77 3.4 to gcc/gfortran 4.0 (and soon 4.1) the problems will go away by itself. I will also CC Brian as he probably has the best understanding of the interactions between R and the various gcc releases.
