For what it is worth, a package of mine just built fine on win-builder in
for both r-devel and r-release.  I use this as src/Makevars.win

The link line of the build log is

g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o RcppSMC.dll tmp.def history.o pf.o pffuncs.o rareEvents.o rng.o simfunctions.o smc-exception.o -Ld:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local/lib/i386 -Ld:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local/lib d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/lib/2.14/Rcpp/lib/i386/libRcpp.a -LD:/RCompile/recent/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 -lR

and it helps to break this down line by line

g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o RcppSMC.dll tmp.def 
    history.o pf.o pffuncs.o rareEvents.o rng.o simfunctions.o smc-exception.o 
    -Ld:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local/lib/i386 
    -Ld:/Rcompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local/lib
    d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/lib/2.14/Rcpp/lib/i386/libRcpp.a 
    -LD:/RCompile/recent/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 
    -lR

whereas David had a spurious space in there:

g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o openair.dll tmp.def cluster.o rolling.o -Ld:/
RCompile/CRANpkg/extra libs/local/lib/i386 -Ld:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/
local/lib C:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/library/Rcpp/ lib/i386/libRcpp.a -LC:/
ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 -lRlapack -LC:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386
-lRblas -lgfortran -LC:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 -lR

g++ -shared -s -static-libgcc -o openair.dll tmp.def cluster.o rolling.o 
    -Ld:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extra libs/local/lib/i386 
    -Ld:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs/local/lib 
    C:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/library/Rcpp/ lib/i386/libRcpp.a   <-- that space looks odd
    -LC:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 
    -lRlapack 
    -LC:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386
    -lRblas 
    -lgfortran 
    -LC:/ProgramFiles/R-2.14.1/bin/i386 -lR

Could of course been bad email formatting...
