Well, that Makefile is not part of the sources!  Makefile.in in the
near-release 1.4.0 ha

OBJECTS = $(SOURCES_C:.c=.lo) $(SOURCES_F:.f=.lo) \
  @USE_EXTERNAL_BLAS_FALSE@ $(SOURCES_BLAS:.f=.lo)

and on my system Makefile has

OBJECTS = $(SOURCES_C:.c=.lo) $(SOURCES_F:.f=.lo) \
  # $(SOURCES_BLAS:.f=.lo)

as does 1.3.1.  What make is this?  As R-admin.texi says


To compile @R{}, you will most likely find it easiest to use GNU
@command{make}.  On Solaris 2.6/7/8 in particular, you need a version of
GNU @command{make} different from 3.77; 3.79 works fine, as does the Sun
@command{make}.

I suspect your make is broken.

That's standard LAPACK 3 code, so the bug report needs to go to LAPACK.
I think your compiler is incorrect, but 'F', 'C' might work.
