The "fix" is relatively simple. One can change the order of the suffixes listed in $R_HOME/etc/Makeconf (i.e. the Makeconf.in version) to alter the precedence. If one changes the line
.SUFFIXES: .c .cc .cpp .C .d .f .lo .o to place the '.c' after the '.cc', your example will work as you want it. While the behavior is not desirable since you specified foo.cc on the command line for R CMD SHLIB, I don't think it is a good idea to be using files named x.c and x.cc in the same directory. I would think that this will lead to confusions with other tools and I can't think of a context in which it is necessary. D.
