Update: Thanks to Colin Rundel figuring out the problem and Roger Bivand implementing it, the devel version of rgdal (revision 758) on R-Forge installs beautifully.
I updated all of my linux computers to Fedora 28, and now can’t install rgdal.
I can install sf with no problems, so it isn’t an issue with GDAL or with proj.
I checked with Roger Bivand, the package maintainer, who asked me to confirm whether I could install sf, to make sure it wasn’t a dependency issue, and to post the logs online, then ask on the R-sig-geo mailing list. I’m putting the full problem here, and the abbreviated version on the mailing list.
I’d appreciate any thoughts: I rely very heavily on the incredibly useful rgdal package.

The problem appears to be with the C++ configuration options, but is beyond my ability to figure out.
The install message is:
