just built R-2.14.0 deriving from R-2.13.1-1 of cygport.

   configure     --with-blas="$(pkg-config --libs blas)" \
                 --with-lapack \
                 --enable-R-shlib \
                 TCLTK_LIBS="-ltcl84 -ltk84"  \
                 --with-system-zlib \
                 --with-system-bzlib \
                 --with-system-pcre \
                 --with-system-xz \
                 --disable-openmp


almost all test passed

$ grep OK  R-2.14.0-1-check.log |wc -l
57

only 3 minor failures

$ find ../build/ -name *fail
../build/tests/Examples/parallel-Ex.Rout.fail
../build/tests/reg-BLAS.Rout.fail
../build/tests/reg-IO.Rout.fail

If you are interested I can provide you the binary package.

Regards
Marco
