I did not find the time to try with CRAN R, yet. Perhaps there is some extra 
binary or command line option for running from a terminal.

Yes, good idea. The new cmake option is -DUSE_BINARY_PACKAGES=1 to make binary 
packages the default on MacOS. Without this, the default is reverted to 
building source packages. Having the config option means we can still try to 
sort it all out without hurry, after the release.
