You seem extraordinarily reluctant to tell us what you are actually doing: no command appears here. I presume this is a call to R CMD INSTALL, but why do I have to keep guessing?
Since you have taken over the make action via the all: target in your Makevars, you need also to take over responsibility for cleaning. I should think all: myclean $(SHLIB) myclean: rm -f $(OBJS) should do it. And BTW, the use of $(OBJS) to set the objects is undocumented, at least in 'Writing R Extensions'.
