I tried to use the 'make' file discussed in the last R-news.

Well, you are missing `tidy', from http://tidy.sourceforge.net/, as mentioned in the src/gnuwin32/INSTALL file. I don't see what the `make' file in the last R-news has to do with this: all the support for cross-compiling R is in the base R distribution. Credit where credit is due!
