Traveling right now (for R conferences) so can't dig in too much detail right now -- so forwarding straight away to Kurt Hornik who wrote/writes most of R's configure code. And from what I learned over the years, a lot appears to be custom as that was the main way to get things done starting in the 1990s. Your simple patch looks pretty good, and I applied it to build 3.2.1-2 rightaway. It should also carry over to configure.ac which is probably what should have gotten patched too ... Thanks again for looking into this.
