GH-36969: [R] Disable GCS by default when doing a bundled build on gc…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…c-13 (#37147)

### Rationale for this change

Currently a naive `install.packages("arrow")` will result in a failed build if gcc-13 is the compiler. This is because we include GCS by default on this type of build (bundled). CRAN's check farm includes at least one system where gcc-13 is the compiler and so we can't error or suggest a user workaround.

### What changes are included in this PR?

This PR explicitly sets the relevant environment variable if the compiler version string contains "g++" and "13.XX.XX". This is admittedly crude; however, the alternative of updating Abseil results in a cascading set of changes that may break other parts of Arrow. Few if any actual users will build the Arrow R package from source using gcc-13, so this has a much lower footprint (and a workaround: you can just set the ARROW_GCS environment variable + custom abseil location yourself before building if you do, in fact, want to attempt this).

### Are these changes tested?

Tested via crossbow (see below).

### Are there any user-facing changes?

No.
* Closes: #36969
