It is my impression though that header dependencies computation is
something that might only work in gcc and clang (because of its gcc
compatibility), so shouldn't this be restricted to those compilers
instead of forcing all others to error?

Also, why is this process run with DEVELOPER=1 to begin with, if we
obviously don't need/want any compilations warnings?
