Thanks -- yes, I can confirm that it installs OK after erasing and checking out SVN from scratch.

Ben, it's most like what Peter says.  I can confirm it works; I just
installed https://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/R-latest.tar.gz
on an up-to-date CentOS 7.9.2009 system using the vanilla gcc (GCC)
4.8.5 that comes with that version and R compiles just fine and it
passes 'make check' too.

Since R is trying to move toward C++14 support by default, I agree
with Iñaki, you might wanr to build and run R with a newer version of
gcc.  gcc 4.8.5 will only give you C++11 support.  RedHat's Software
Collections (SCL) devtoolset:s is the easiest way to do this. I've
done this too and can confirm that gcc 7.3.1 that comes with SCL
devtoolset/7 is sufficient to get C++14 support.  I'm sharing my
installation with lots of users, so I'm make it all transparent to the
end-user with environment modules, i.e. 'module load r/4.1.0' is all
the user needs to know.

You may want to check out your checkout....

I see:

Peter-Dalgaards-iMac:R pd$ grep newsock src/main/connections.c
     con = R_newsock(host, port, server, serverfd, open, timeout, options);

but your file seems to have lost the ", options" bit somehow. Also, mine is 
line 3488, not 3477.

Maybe you have an old file getting in the way?

  Attempting to build R from scratch with a fresh SVN checkout on a somewhat 
out-of-date CentOS system (for which I don't have root access, although I can 
bug people if I care enough).

  ../r-devel/configure; make

ends with

gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../../r-devel/trunk/src/extra  -I. -I../../src/include 
-I../../../r-devel/trunk/src/include -I/usr/local/include

  Any suggestions for a quick fix/diagnosis?
