Update: I submitted a new version of the package, but it did not fix the
issue. The package has now been archived and I do not have access to the
error log output anymore from r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang.

I did reproduce CRAN's configuration in a VM using the information provided
by CRAN for r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang. I still cannot reproduce the
error and at this point I believe that there is a chance that CRAN's
machine is misconfigured.

The specific error happens after rbedrock has been compiled and linked
successfully. The specific error is that the symbol
_ZNSt3__122__libcpp_verbose_abortEPKcz cannot be found when rbedrock.so is
loaded.This symbol was introduced into libc++ in Clang 15.0. What I believe
to be happening to cause the error is that Clang++ 17 is adding a reference
to this symbol when compiling and linking rbedrock.so but the dynamic
linker is loading an older version of libc++.so when trying to load
rbedrock.so and the symbol is not found.

If this is the cause, then I think that the CRAN machine needs to configure
the dynamic linker to use the Clang++ 17 libc++.so, or add the proper
command line options to R's config variables.

It's possible that the CRAN's r-devel-linux-x86_64-fedora-clang machine is
fine and I've missed something, and I would be happy if someone could help
me figure out what it is.

Also, a new issue cropped up when 0.3.1 was tested on the
r-oldrel-macos-x86_64 machine. /usr/bin/ar seems to have failed to produce
an archive. The other Mac versions did fine, so I'm not sure if this is a
random error or something related to my package. The error log is here:
https://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-oldrel-macos-x86_64/rbedrock-00install.html

If anyone can help me resolve this, I'd appreciate it.
