(Simon will say something about not to use config.site...)
I think you need LDFLAGS in config.site. For the nightlies, I have
% more ~/r-devel/config.site
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/R/arm64/include
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/R/arm64/lib
with_tcl_config=/opt/R/arm64/lib/tclConfig.sh
with_tk_config=/opt/R/arm64/lib/tkConfig.sh
