[R-pkg-team] Bug#1064135: Please unblock r-cran-bigmemory 4.6.4-2

[Charles Plessy]

Dear Release team,

I finally managed to fix 1064135 (test failures on arm64 and other 
architectures) by enforcing signed chars with the following patch.

+--- r-cran-bigmemory-4.6.4.orig/configure
++++ r-cran-bigmemory-4.6.4/configure
+@@ -39,3 +39,4 @@ fi
+
+ echo "${FLAGS}" > src/Makevars
+ echo "${LIBS}" >> src/Makevars
++echo "PKG_CXXFLAGS=-fsigned-char" >> src/Makevars

There are no other changes to the packages (excluding of course 
debian/changelog and debian/patches).

Can you unblock r-cran-bigmemory?  It absence from Trixie causes 
autopkgtest failures, with a possible cascade effect of more removal / 
failure / removal cycles.

Have a nice day,

Charles
