Subject: [Rd] Buidling R on Linux (Itanium) fails (PR#7897)

I tried to build R using the Intel compilers (icc, ifort) and the Math Kernel
Libraries
for BLAS/LAPACK

Optimizations used were -O3, and the 
FPICFLAGS="-fpic"
was exported.

The build failed with the following error message:
...
dumping R code in package 'methods'
Saving namespace image ...
initializing class and method definitions now ...Error in
makePrototypeFromClassDef(properties, ClassDef, immediate, where) :
        in making the prototype for class "SClassExtension" elements of the
prototype failed to match the corresponding slot class: coerce (class
?character? ), test (class ?character? ), replace (class ?character? ), simple
(class ?character? ), dataPart (class ?character? )
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'methods'
Execution halted

I am not a R specialist; how do I continue from here?
