it doesn't look like the arguments -O2 and -Wall get passed down. Is there
some reason for this? I certainly would like error checking to be turned

Well, no one said they would be! If you want to alter flags, they are
set as CFLAGS R_HOME/etc/Makeconf or Makevars. I have -O2 -Wall -pedantic.
I don't think you need -lm as R is linked against that.
Is it possible to set CFLAGS at the user level? I am usually not terribly
keen to alter system config files (Makeconf in this case). For one thing,
I don't always have root access on the systems I use, and for another I
tend to lose my changes when I upgrade.
I did say so: use a file Makevars. You can only add that way. If you do
cat > Makevars
PKG_CPPFLAGS=-O2 -Wall
^D
then that will be added to CFLAGS.
If you lose changes, make them in the file config.site, and copy that
in when you build a new version of R. Works for me!
