Yes, it seems you have corrupted the files during unpacking.  Did you use 
the version of tar in the Rtools.zip?  Whatever you used to unpack the 
files has changed LF to CR line endings. Winzip is notorious for doing 
things like that.

Only a very few tools will unpack that tar file (which contains symbolic 
links) correctly.  Which is why we provide one, and issue a warning in the
R Installation and Administration manual.
