Learn what .S means? For some reason you tried to compile .s*, and although that happens to match on your benighted OS, .s and .S are not the same.

I have no idea why you are asking here. That file is not part of R and you have not told us where you found it. There is a file of that name as part of a *copy of xzutils* shipped with the R sources, and R compiles it correctly: and you can read the sources for yourself to see how it does it.
