> With the switch to C++17 centos 7 users need to install and enable devtoolset (and possibly change makevars) to be able to compile the R package, even when using the libarrow binary (see [ARROW-17594]) but that they can use INSTALL_opts = "--build" to get a binary package that is installable on a centos machine WITHOUT dts -> offline build section. Centos 7 RSPM is an alternative source for that binary package. 
> Also add messaging in configure or build_arrow_static.sh so that if someone is trying to install from source with gcc 4.8, we tell them what they need to do.
> This should be documented and noted in the release notes.
