I had no problem building the default configuration.  Comparing the 
resulting Makeconf with the one for the failed build I found that
configure did not set MAIN_LDFLAGS to --export-dynamic when using my
config.site (which has the MAIN_LDFLAGS entry commented out).

If I edit Makeconf and rebuild R.bin the build finished and 
"make check" passes.
