At the very least something like
R -d gdb
and the output of bt would be helpful. Then in general things like the  
exact compilers used are needed, especially on "testing" Linux (note  
that you probably don't want to use anything more recent then gcc 4.3  
due to bugs). Also it's a good idea to run make check before make  
install ...

The script you supplied (and the resulting R) works just fine for me  
on lenny (modulo the --prefix).

Cheers,
Simon
