[PATCH] gnu: r: Apply patch to fix linking against R.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

the attached upstream patch is required to fix linking problems when
linking external applications or libraries (such as Shogun) against R.
The problem was introduced with the upgrade to version 3.2.0 of R and
should be released with 3.2.1.
