Hello,

Has a decision been made yet as to whether R 4.0.0 on Windows is going
to be built using the new gcc8 toolchain (described at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/testing/rtools40.html)?

Short answer: 'no'.

From the sidelines, I can see that the toolchain is being used to
build and test packages on CRAN; if there are any remaining issues
that I can help to try and run down (either in R or any CRAN packages)
I'd be happy to try and help.

It is still under consideration, but resource constraints are biting hard as people's lives get more complicated.
