That is a known issue, and somewhat painful to us, as it relates to how CRAN
insists on old C / C++ standards.  If you switch to adding -std=c++11 or even
-std=c++0x you get the long long type which was already added in the 2003
standard.  Google the mailing list archives, this has been hashed out before.

Ah. See above. I hope to get back to RcppBDT "soon" but currently I cannot
recommend SVN head for RcppBDT. Sorry. Help is always welcome -- the guts for
the new version are in, but we need to add a lot of corresponding method
calls at the R level.

CRAN does by default, as does win-builder at http://win-builder.r-project.org.
Here is CRAN's most recent check:
