I am trying to build R-3.2.4 on an Oracle Enterprise Linux system, where I have previously built R-3.1.3 and predecessors without problems. I ran "./configure --with-x=no" ok. The make fails in src/extra/xz with what looks like a Makefile problem:

liblzma.a: $(liblzma_a_OBJECTS)
    $rm -f $@
    $(AR) -cr $@ $(liblzma_a_OBJECTS)
    $(RANLIB) $@


What I see in the make log is:

gcc -std=gnu99 -I./api -I. -I../../../src/include -I../../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -fopenmp -g -O2 -c x86.c -o x86.o
m -f liblzma.a
make[4]: m: Command not found
make[4]: *** [liblzma.a] Error 127
make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-3.2.4/src/extra/xz'
make[3]: *** [R] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-3.2.4/src/extra/xz'
make[2]: *** [make.xz] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-3.2.4/src/extra'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-3.2.4/src'
make: *** [R] Error 1

I'm very suspicious of the "$rm -f @a" line, which also appears in the Makefile.in. Seems like $r has resolved to empty leading to the command "m -f liblzma.a"
