(Then is this a good idea? Why not wait for the pre-built and tested
binary distribution? In fact they are available at Vienna CRAN now.)

As this works for both the maintainers and when cross-building, I can only
point you at:
Note 2: we are aware that because of limitations in line length or in
the shell used that the Makefiles do not work unchanged on all the
possible combinations of tools, compilers and OSes. We have tested
the Cygwin make and shell under NT, and cross-building (see below).
Almost certainly there is something deficient in the tools you have
installed, or which ones are being picked up. In particular, do you have
the right sh.exe in use? That seems to be running the .c.d rule, and that
does have a quoted string, so do you have the right echo.exe in use? And
so on ....
