[R-pkg-devel] gcc-san check warns for non-portable flags

Dear fellow package developers,

There were multiple issues with a package I maintain: @CRAN: <https://cran.r-project.org/package=adfExplorer> @source: <https://github.com/pepijn-devries/adfExplorer/>. As far as I can tell all issues listed @CRAN were fixed in the latest version (available from GitHub and R-Universe). However, when submitting to CRAN, the special gcc san check complains about non-portable flags (see below).

I cannot reproduce this warning myself. As far as I can tell, I don't set these flags myself (neither in the configure script nor in makevars.in). I suspect that these flags are set by the machine that performs the checks. How do I pass this check? Or should I report it to CRAN as a false negative result?

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Pepijn
