You are missing the command between the redirects. That shouldn't happen. If
you look at Makefile.am which defines this, you will see (indented here one tab)

	autoloads.h: autoloads.R
		R_HOME= ${RPROG} ${ROPTIONS} < $< > $@

In the Make language, $< denotes the depended-upon file, or here autoloads.R.

the case, then you should start from a fresh tarball.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
