It might be how R was built, ie the flag got "baked in" when R configured and
compiled. These flags then sit in ${R_HOME}/etc/Makeconf.  If so you'd have
to edit the file -- we can't alter these options on the fly.

Or it could be in a file of yours, for me it is ~/.R/Makevars where I in fact
often set -pedantic (and alsod unset it).

The bigger news is that you should not have to worry about it. It is just a
warning, and it comes from code you did not write but just use -- Boost
headers via the BH package.
