I noticed that gcc-4.2.0 was updated as of yesterday, so I rebuilt it then tried to rebuild the R package again but unfortunately it still fails to build. I noticed during the compilation that the -fPIC option seems to be included with some of the gcc compiling but when it starts to compile the libgfortran I don't see the -fPIC option anymore. It seems that perhaps the compilation excludes the -fPIC option when building libgfortran which seems to be related with R not building. I don't really know much more than this because as I'm sure you can tell, I am no C programmer. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.
