R 3.5.0 byte-compiles all R code in packages upon install, so that may be new.

I have neither special insight into these platforms, nor access to them. You
may be in a better position to do some tests.
Medium-bad case is we block theses architectures; worst is we remove fbasics
and its dependends. It is code that is (effectively) in maintenance mode as
the original author and driver, Prof Wuertz, died years ago.
As for the "R fails to install a package" issue, I can take this to R Core
but without access for one of them ... there is little we can expect them to
do.
