The instructions do work for those who actually follow them! That file
says
Edit MkRules to set BUILD=CROSS and the appropriate paths (including
HEADER) as needed.
and the appropriate section of that file is
## =================== cross-compilation settings =================
ifeq ($(strip $(BUILD)),CROSS)
# Next might be mingw32- or i386-mingw32msvc- or i586-
# depending on the cross-compiler.
BINPREF=i586-mingw32-
# Set this to where the mingw32 include files are. It must be accurate.
HEADER=/users/ripley/R/cross-tools5/i586-mingw32/include
endif
# path (possibly full path) to same version of R on the host system
# R_EXE=R
and please do note the last two lines.
