Unfortunately, because of the fact that modern R needs C++11 support beyond what the system compiler possesses, the only way to build R on EL7 is with devtoolset. When R is built with devtoolset, it sets assumptions about compiler flags that it then passes on whenever someone tries to do a CRAN build, and those assumptions are false with the system GCC (and it causes packages installed from CRAN to fail to build in confusing ways). The most correct approach is to have a Requires: devtoolset-8-toolchain dependency, but this is not permitted in EPEL. Thus, the R package is left to either ship in a known broken state, or not ship at all. It would be irresponsible to do the former. If you find yourself in this position, consider updating to EL-8 which does not have this problem, or building the R package from SRPM and installing devtoolset-8-toolchain along with it. I have done a build of R-4.0.3 for EL7 in koji, but it will eventually be garbage collected as it cannot go out as an update. https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=61047054
