After submitting the package, I got an email that the package failed the pre-test due to the warnings. I replied-all, pointing to the explanation in cran-comments.md. I haven't heard anything since, and the package is still in the archive folder at ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming.

Generally I'd sit for a week or so, then send a gentle reminder.  It's 
summer, and people are on holiday, so you might make that 10 days.

Regarding the issues:

Since one of them comes from the BH package rather than yours, you might 
want to talk to Dirk for advice about it.

The second issue you mention in your comment looks more serious:
"Found 'abort', possibly from 'abort' (C), 'runtime' (Fortran) Found 
'exit', possibly from 'exit' (C), 'stop' (Fortran) Found 'printf', 
possibly from 'printf' (C)".

Your response that you don't call  'abort', 'exit' or 'printf' isn't 
sufficient here:  those functions appear to have been linked in to your 
DLL, so somebody is calling them.  I'd try to track down those calls and 
see if there's a way to compile without them.
