[Rd] R 4.0.2 64-bit Windows hangs

Fri Aug 21 21:20:47 CEST 2020

For some further information, on compiling with rtools, using the following scripts, https://github.com/r-windows/r-base, I receive a segfault:

installing 'sysdata.rda'
building package 'compiler'
byte-compiling package 'compiler'
byte-compiling package 'base'
byte-compiling package 'tools'
sh: line 3:  3614 Done                    ( cat ./R/makeLazyLoad.R; echo "makeLazyLoading(\"tools\")" )
      3615 Segmentation fault      | _R_COMPILE_PKGS_=1 R_COMPILER_SUPPRESS_ALL=1 R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL LC_ALL=C R_ENABLE_JIT=0 ../../../bin/x64/Rterm.exe --vanilla --no-echo > /dev/null
make[2]: *** [Makefile.win:34: ../../../library/tools/R/tools.rdb] Error 139
make[1]: *** [Makefile.win:33: R] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:18: all] Error 2

It looks to have compiled its own Rterm.exe, and segfaults when running it?
