I had some success using RTools40 and the corresponding R testing
version. I had to do a lot of MSYS shenanigans and couldn't get static
compilation to work, but the binary package seems to work just fine in R
3.6.2.
It makes me very happy to see that R will get an updated toolchain and a
proper MSYS environment with a package manager! Is there a due date for
R 4.0.0?

You will have to wait.
The current Rtools is at g++ 4.9.3 which (barely) supports C++11. We all
keep our fingers crossed as the replacement Rtools would bring g++ 8.*. This
may happen with R 4.0.0 in April but I have no more details either.
