I can understand that it is not enabled per default if I just  
configured R myself. But here we are talking about the CRAN binary.  
For that specific case I think it is reasonable to assume that a user  
will/should use the gcc shipping with the binary. There are other  
specific changes for the CRAN binary like the fact that the PATH  
variable is set.

Well, that is a solution. A bit irritating, if you are checking many  
packages, but reasonable I guess.

Eh? I don't get this.
