Most likely you overwrite PKG_CFLAGS in your ~/.Makevars file. If you want to add extra compilation flags use PKG_CFLAGS += ... instead of PKG_CFLAGS = ....

Fantastic it worked. Should I be concerned about PKG_LIBS also?

[gaborcsardi]

IDK. On most Linux distros you do not need anything in ~/.R/Makevars.
