Well, I'm finally getting around to setting up a cross-compiler for Windows on my local Linux box.   I'm using the Yan & Rossini's docuimentation and the latest 'http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Makefile-rcb' , which is working of the R-2.2.0 sources.

After discovering that "cp -p" doesn't work on the filesystem I'm using and removing the '-p's in the R makefiles using perl, I've gotten things to run pretty far through.  Unfortunately, I get stopped by this error when building the base packages:

	writing help indices for package: base tools utils grDevices graphics stats datasets methods grid splines stats4 tcltk

	---------- Making package base ------------
	  adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION
	  installing inst files
	  installing indices
	Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "win.packages.html" was not found
	Execution halted

Any ideas?
