Very, very good -- thank you!
I took this opportunity to add this to the Rcpp-FAQ as the following.
Corrections or suggestions welcome. We did just wrap up 0.9.3 which should
hit CRAN either today or tomorrow so this won't be in it yet.

\subsection{I am having problems building Rcpp on OS X, any help ?}
OS X is a little more conservative with compiler versions, so it pays to get
the latest of whatever Apple releases which may already be a little behind
what is used on Linux or Windows.
At the time of writing this paragraph (in the spring of 2011), \pkg{Rcpp}
(just like CRAN) supports all OS X releases greater or equal to 10.5.
However, building \pkg{Rcpp} from source (or building packages using
\pkg{Rcpp}) also requires a recent-enough version of Xcode; the current
version is 3.1.4 which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple
Developer site.
