[R-SIG-Mac] possible bug in R's make install

[Peter Langfelder]

For what it's worth, the same bug is present on linux when compiling R
with a custom BLAS (either ATLAS or OpenBLAS). The directory needs to
be made by hand first. I beleive I have reported this some time ago
but no action was taken. Compiling R with R internal BLAS does not
results in the error.
