[R] R CMD INSTALL with debugging

I've run into a problem with lazy loading on a Linux system when
trying to install the Matrix package (version 0.995-16) which didn't
happen with version 0.995-2.  The problem is not with a x86_64
system: it's a 32 bit machine, the exact description I don't have
right now (R-2.3.1).  The message looks like this:

Error in match.call(fmatch, fcall) : unused argument(s) (x ...)
In addition: There were 12 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
Error: unable to load R code in package 'Matrix'
Execution halted
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'Matrix'


I even tried with the --no-lazy switch but that only gave me a message
about being deprecated but otherwise the results were identical.

What do I need to do to get more information about what is making that
match.call message?  The warnings() message is of no use once R has
exited.  I suspect it has something to do with warnings about NULL
environments being deprecated, because I've not tracked down all
instances of them, and the newer Matrix package is more particular
about such things.  Finding what is producing the problem with
match.call might help me work out where the NULL environment messages
are coming from and that would be an added bonus.

TIA
