This is perplexing! Could you please try "/path/to/R -d gdb" and
inside gdb do 

run  --verbose --vanilla

then at the point of the crash do a "bt" command and tell us what it
says.

One thing that could cause trouble is if some higher directory (eg
/usr/R) is not readable, since make is generally using relative paths.
