Which version of rgdal - the current CRAN source?

Is this during configure? Could you try by downloading the tarball and 
running

R CMD INSTALL rgdal_1-2.20.tar.gz

In configure, the value of CXX is taken from "${RBIN}" CMD config CXX 
where "${RBIN}" is RBIN="${R_HOME}/bin/R" and R_HOME=`R RHOME`, so

R CMD config CXX

which in your case may need -std=g++11 or some such added - please inform.
