I can see what has happened: one of the paths contains : as Peter 
suggested.  By not why, and there seem to be more wrong with it: look 
at the lines I've enclosed in ===.  There is no space after -Rblas, 
and other odd things, so changing the sed script would not help here.
As Peter say, -Wlfoo,bar is just as likely as : in there if things go 
this badly wrong.  (Of course mailer may have garbled this.)

I have

STATIC_LIBR_PC = $(BLAS_LIBS) $(FLIBS)  $(LIBINTL) -lreadline -ltermcap  $(LIBS)

and nothing strange in the expansion.

Try not using --enable-R-static-lib.

What we could do it to allow the script to fail: having libR.pc is a 
convenience, and --enable-R-static-lib is rarely used.
