Thank you very much Dirk, Peter and Johannes for all your help. Now, I removed all the previous files and repeated all the previous procedure using my own SVN directory, instead of the ' ~/svn/r-devel' included in the original mail of Dirk, and everything worked fine as well.
So I can confirm that very likely I suffered the effect of the _initial_ configure, because I didn't run 'make clean' or 'make distclean' in the first repo I checkout. Finally, I slightly modified the first script of Dirk on https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2012-August/001935.html, to avoid building in the source directory (following the advice of Peter Dalgaard) and finally I'm able to set up R-devel on a daily basis ! Thanks to all of you and I hope this thread might be useful for somebody else....
