I've seen that error before. It has to do with the setup of R_EXE. A 
current linux R is required. The following order worked for me:

make linuxR
make LinuxFresh=YES mkrules
make R

Well, I'm finally getting around to setting up a 

cross-compiler for Windows on my local Linux box.   I'm using 
the Yan & Rossini's docuimentation and the latest 
'http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb' , which 
is working of the R-2.2.0 sources.

After discovering that "cp -p" doesn't work on the 

filesystem I'm using and removing the '-p's in the R 
makefiles using perl, I've gotten things to run pretty far 
through.  Unfortunately, I get stopped by this error when 
building the base packages:

	writing help indices for package: base tools utils 

grDevices graphics stats datasets methods grid splines stats4 tcltk

	---------- Making package base ------------
	  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
	  installing inst files
	  installing indices
	Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable 

"win.packages.html" was not found

	Execution halted

Any ideas?
