As does version 0.10.1.0.2, released immediately after these issues raised their head. And as stated all it takes to get a micro release from a drat repo is one added parameter : repos="RcppCore.github.io/drat". See the screenshot.

Replying to @eddelbuettel @henrikbengtsson
The screenshot shows the current version, also released into the drat repo. I cannot control CRAN admittance speed, but I can and do offer (micro)releases via the drat repo. I urge anybody working with ancient compilers to be familiar with these drat repos. Or else help test.
