One instance has been resolved: for at least 5 years R CMD check for a
package with compiled code has assumed commands 'nm' and (on Windows)
'objdump' were on the PATH: these are also needed to detect use of
registration. There is now a warning if they are not found.
Many thanks for this! However, I think that there's a subtlety here:
On a newly installed Windows 10 64-bit system, with the latest R-devel
and Rtools, 'R CMD check' failed to detect use of registration despite
the fact that both 'nm' and 'objdump' were on the path. It turned out
that I had the 32-bit versions on the path, i.e.,
'\\...\Rtools\mingw_32\bin', which, I believe, is the default setting in
the Rtools installer.
After switching to the 64-bit versions, the use of registration now
seems to be reliably detected.
