maps - https://github.com/adeckmyn/maps

They are using a custom Makevars.win that likely needs to be tweaked to work properly with the new toolchain.

This results in an error when trying to install mapproj, as there is no 32 bit library for maps

*** arch - i386
Error : package 'maps' is not installed for 'arch = i386'

*** arch - x64

Some packages for whatever reason don't build with multiarch by default. You can still install for both architectures using the --merge-multiarch option:

install.packages("maps", type = "source", INSTALL_opts="--merge-multiarch")

If you run this in x64 it should build and install for i386 as well.

Yep that worked, thanks Jeroen. I guess I will pass that install option always to avoid this with other packages.
