I haven't seen the error you report, but the general strategy on
seeing a make error is to "make distclean", and try again.

If that doesn't work, it might be worth checking your Perl version:  R
2.0.0 seems to need 5.8.x.  Previously this was just recommended, and
I ran on 5.6.x until very recently.  I thought I had updated the
Rtools page (www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools) to say this, but
looking just now shows the old page...
