Rcpp compilation error on Mac OS X (unsupported argument 'core2' to option '-mtune=')

I've encountered an error with Rcpp on Mac OS X (14.3.1, with the latest version of Xcode tools installed as of this post). I have used Rcpp extensively in the past but not in approximately one year, so I'm unsure when this compilation problem appeared.

Here is a reproducible example:

Type 'q()' to quit R.

I would be grateful for any help!

This is most likely a misconfiguration of your R installation. Try for example these commands (which I am doing in a container for R)

# R CMD config CC
gcc
# R CMD config CXX
g++ -std=gnu++17
# R CMD config CXXFLAGS
-g -O2 -ffile-prefix-map=/build/reproducible-path/r-base-4.3.3=. -fstack-protector-strong -fstack-clash-protection -Wformat -Werror=format-security -fcf-protection -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
#

I strongly suspect the options you are seeing come from either your R installation (so on Unix system do less $(R RHOME)/etc/Makeconf to what it has) and/or some local configuration (such as ~/.R/Makevars).

Rcpp does not have those options as you can quickly check at the repo:
