I'm getting the same error.  At first I thought it was that I was picking
up an older version of R in my path, but that's not the case.

This is a transient problem caused by a bug fix, and has gone away 
again.

Please do remember that R-devel is `under development' and be a bit more
patient.  We do not guarantee that it will build from `make distclean' on
all OSes at all hours of every day (and explicitly say otherwise).

This was actually quite an insidious error. Rebuilding in an existing
build directory showed no errors for me, only when I tried a
completely clean build did I reproduce the problem reported. Maybe
it's not too bad to have people a bit quick to complain...
