[rkward/releases/0.7.0] debian-official: Remove the explicit intialization of a compiler, as it breaks with R 3.5.0

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Git commit dc359f415f9a3a19397b4a6551a09a69792a7548 by Thomas Friedrichsmeier.
Committed on 02/06/2018 at 06:26.
Pushed by tfry into branch 'releases/0.7.0'.

Remove the explicit intialization of a compiler, as it breaks with R 3.5.0
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900591).

This logic was added in 11/2007 / RKward 0.4.8a, when R was specifically built
using GCC 4.2 on debian but not Ubuntu, while the default compiler on both was still GCC 4.1.

It was meant to ensure a successful build on both systems.

Not sure whether a similar solution may be needed again, in the future, but we'll worry about that,
if and when it happens.
