Nobody knows. If in doubt, try to make the issue go away.

You can never delete flags for your _package_ which are coming from the _R
binary_ itself. C'est la vie.

Can you remind us _what your error was_ ?  There are a bazillion config
options to Boost.  Eg adding -DBOOST_NO_AUTO_PTR tells the Boost library no
to use an idiom about which newer compiler complain a lot. (And eg I sent a
PR to the dplyr team to add this which they, after sitting on it for three
weeks, now merged.)

What is the issue again? I have BH 1.69 ready but cannot upload it as three
packages regress so need to make time to write to their maintainers.
