That was because it wasn't a "GOOD COMPILER" (there's a directive in the Rcpp
code that checks for various types of compilers). So I switched to building R
with gcc/gfortran/g++ 4.8 and got past that point, but now blocked by the
absence of "execinfo.h" header file.

I would have replied sooner if you had used the proper list -- which for
matters pertaining to Rcpp is the rcpp-devel list (and note that you need
subscribe first in order to post).
For systems we do not have access to -- like Solaris, Aix, or equally antique
and rarified Unix systems -- we do rely on those having access to run tests.
Worst case we can #ifdef some features away so that you can build with a
possibly sightly reduced feature set. But you, or someone else on Aix, needs
to drive this as we can't.
