This seems to have broken builds under linux (at least on Fedora).
I get a string of messages of the form

/home/ihaka/R/bin/R CMD: /home/ihaka/R/bin/R CMD: No such file or directory

I am currently working around this by changing lines in
src/scripts/R.sh from

       exec sh "${R_HOME}/bin/R CMD" "${@}" ;;

to

       exec sh "${R_HOME}/bin/Rcmd" "${@}" ;;

between "configure" and "make".
