Weird.   

When R is built, certain configure values are recorded, see (on Debian) the
files in /etc/R/:

edd at homebud:/etc/R> grep frtb * 
Makeconf:FLIBS =  -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2
-L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.2/../../.. -lfrtbegin -lg2c-pic -lm -lgcc_s

If your Makeconf has values stored that your system doesn't have, then you
may have a mismatch between the compiler used for building R (i.e. the
binary you got yourself) and the one currently installed to build the package.

Let's discuss off-line exactly what Debian 'flavour' and gcc/g77 versions
you are using.  

One way out for you would be to rebuild R locally. We can discuss that too.
