[R-SIG-Mac] PCRE JIT compilation error

[Prof Brian Ripley]

It seems to depend on the OS version: there are known issues with PCRE 
JIT and macOS 10.15 not just with R, but not for everyone.

Similarly, installation issues of some Rcpp-using packages is only known 
to occur under 10.15 and not with 10.13 (which is what will be used for 
building binary packages and has been extensively tested there).  These 
should go away with the next Rcpp update, available pro tem via

install.packages("Rcpp", repos="https://rcppcore.github.io/drat")

So it really is necessary to remind people to follow the posting guide 
and include the output from sessionInfo() or at the very least

 > osVersion
[1] "macOS Catalina 10.15.4"
