Will greatly appreciate your help in working this out.


I don't see how we can.  This is not an R issue, it is an 
incompatibility between your C and your Fortran compiler of your 
unstated OS version (and your compilers are ancient).  If you can fathom 
out what is missing from FLIBS, you can supply it to configure (it might 
be -lquadmath, which current gfortran needs).


In any case, this is the wrong list (see the posting guide) and we do 
not support obsolete versions of R (see the posting guide).
