This is an internal compiler/assembler error - please check that your 
tools are consistent and if so report this as a MacOS X error.

(It is the sort of thing which happens if gcc targetted for one assembler 
is used with another, for example on Solaris with GNU vs Sun assemblers.)

Given that the C code being compiled is unchanged since 3.1-60 which was 
successfully compiled by the maintainers, this does point to a problem 
local to you.

The CRAN repository for MacOS X has not be updated for a couple of weeks.
