GNU make does not work for some of my other work so for compiling R I am trying to use "gmake" which is a link to the correct version of gnu make. I'm not sure if this should work but it looks like it is suppose to, as $(MAKE) gets expanded to "gmake" most places. However, "make" gets used in R-pre0.63.1/src/library/modreg/src and fails. Is this a bug or should I not expect this to work? I'm trying to compile an intermediate release.

Using gmake at the top level means that it is used recursively in all the subdirectories, but in order to change the behaviour of R INSTALL you need to tell _configure_ to use gmake.
