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

[Simon Urbanek]

Has anyone reported this bug at bugs.R-project.org? Quick search doesn't yield anything - Peter can you post the reference, please, if you reported it there? Since this is not a Mac-specific issue that's where should go if it is to be fixed.

Cheers,
Simon
