Thanks Ivan & Tomas

A simpler way to trigger the problem is library(tools) or library.dynam("tools", "tools", 
".") so I guess it is loading src/tools.so

Ivan, adding -d lldb I need to tell lldb where to find the R library

(lldb) process launch --environment 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/ma38727/bin/R-devel/lib

And then `library(tools)` works. To run lldb I needed to grant Xcode 
permissions using my local administrator account.

@Thomas I can't see anything in the Console app logs, but this might be partly 
my ineptitude.

Which version of macOS is this?

- Prior to Ventura it is the known behaviour.

- With Ventura the same happens if any R process from the current build is in use, even a crashed one. (The latter happened to me this morning: there were reports under Crash Reports in the Console App.)

As the R-admin manual says

"Updating an ‘arm64’ build may fail because of the bug described at https://openradar.appspot.com/FB8914243 but ab initio builds work. This has been far rarer since macOS 13."

Once it happens, you need to rebuild (make clean;make all should suffice).

I build my own R from source on an M1 mac. I have a clean svn checkout in one 
directory ~/src/R-devel. I switch to ~/bin/R-devel and the first time run

cd ~/bin/R-devel
~/src/R-devel/configure --enable-R-shlib 'CFLAGS=-g -O0' 
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/R/arm64/include 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O0'
make -j

At some point in the future I svn update src/R-devel, then

cd ~/bin/R-devel
make -j

This always ends with

installing 'sysdata.rda'

what am I doing wrong? Is there a graceful way to fix this (my current solution 
is basically to start over, with `make distclean`)? If I cd into 
~/bin/R-devel/src/library/utils I can start an interactive session and 
reproduce the error

~/bin/R-devel/src/library/utils $   R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL ../../../bin/R 
--vanilla
tools:::sysdata2LazyLoadDB("/Users/ma38727/src/R-devel/src/library/utils/R/sysdata.rda","../../../library/utils/R")
zsh: killed     R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL ../../../bin/R --vanilla

or simply

tools:::sysdata2LazyLoadDB
zsh: killed     R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=NULL LC_ALL=C R_ENABLE_JIT=0 TZ=UTC 
../../../bin/R

If it is macOS, it might be worth checking the system logs (Console
app). It may be some system security feature.
