This may not apply to your case, but it's certainly possible to have
binary incompatibilities without compiling anything.  For example in
April, you install package A which uses the latest RCpp (say 0.9).
Later, you install package B, which uses the latest Rcpp (say 0.10).
Unless you specifically re-install A it will have been compiled
against Rcpp 0.9, but will be linking to Rcpp 0.10.
