Submitted a Patch file for r-abc-data which is a dependency for r-abc

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=30983


Then,
Re-based the source

    git fetch origin  # fetch any upstream changes
    git stash         # hide my uncommitted local changes
    git rebase origin/master # rebase my local commits on top of upstream
    git stash pop     # apply my uncommitted local changes
    make              # compile .scm to .go


I have done adding r-abc. And the build was success.

 ( I am still unsure whether i did it right. Fingers Crossed !!!! ...
Waiting for your comment)

Its a great experience while learning with each contribution. Each
Package Description have a different things to look into carefully and
contribute.

Ricardo have been of great help in this process.

Created a Patch (I sense something's not right here!!!). 
Submitting for the review.
