On my system at least that seems a compiler options mismatch (it works on 
my self-built version of R-devel with the above change).  Removing 
-march=nocona in entries in

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/etc/i386/Makeconf

on the CRAN build made this go to completion.  (My build does not 
have those.)  You can override in CFLAGS in personal Makevars (see 
'Writing R Extensions').

But I'll let those more expert than I on R-sig-mac comment on that issue.
