Following up on a check failure in package gadget3, you have

        cmd <- paste("R -d gdb --debugger-args=\"-x", gdbscript,
             "\"")

        cmd <- paste("R --vanilla < ", file, " -d gdb
--debugger-args=\"-x",
             gdbscript, "\"")

You should not be using 'R' (and that is said many times in 'Writing R
Extensions') and you should not be assuming gdb.

Since this is being passed from a running R to a shell, you could use
something like

  $R_HOME/bin$R_ARCH_BIN/R

or construct this in R by

file.path(R.home('bin'), "R")

You should at least allow the user the choice of debugger -- some
platforms do not have gdb, some also have lldb and on some the preferred
choice depend on the compiler in use. (There are other debuggers too.)
