You might get less noise in the replies if you were explicit about using Rmath stand-alone and asked on r-devel.
As far as I can see you would need to compile a version of the stand-alone library that defines the macros for handling of warning messages differently -- the current one just calls printf in the stand-alone library. (You might be able to trick the linker into using a version of printf for calls from within Rmath that does nothing, but I suspect recompiling the sourses is easier.) We will probably be rethinking this soon in conjunction with some other changes to vectorized math in R.
