Sebastian,
if you want to replicate the CRAN builds, you have to also use the same
settings, otherwise you may have a build which is not binary compatible. It is
unclear from your description how you built R (there are several variants such
as framework install vs "unix"-style install and they are incompatible). You
can see the flags actually used at the top of ${R_HOME}/etc/Makevars.
As for macOS R binaries, all latest builds are always available from
https://mac.r-project.org/big-sur/last-success/
The fact that the main page itself is not showing R-devel is certainly not
intentional since the binaries are there - I’ll look into that, thanks for
reposting (you shouldn't wait months to report that ;)).
Thanks,
Simon
