The message (it is not even a warning) is harmless. The change is
documented in the NEWS file, and is useful for some packages (Matrix as I
recall).

Hi,
I wonder about the reason for the following lines:
$ diff ~/local/lib64/R/bin/build /usr/lib64/R/bin/build
40c40
< my $revision = ' $Rev: 46832 $ ';
---
my $revision = ' $Rev: 45803 $ ';
576,579d570
< if(-r "Makevars") {
< $makefiles .= " -f Makevars";
< R_system("${R::Vars::MAKE} $makefiles clean");
< }
it produces a warning like
$ R-devel CMD build Runuran
[...]
* DONE (Runuran)
* creating vignettes ... OK
* cleaning src
make: *** No rule to make target `clean'. Stop.
* running cleanup
* removing junk files
* checking for LF line-endings in source and make files
* checking for empty or unneeded directories
* building 'Runuran_0.8.900.tar.gz'
"Writing R Extensions" however says:
Note that @file{Makevars} should not normally contain targets, as it is
(except on Windows) included before the default makefile and
@command{make}
is called without an explicit target.
Note 'normally'.
