The "COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES" feature added in [1] was extended to
use auto-detection in [2]. Then when -Wpedantic support was added to
DEVOPTS in [3] we started passing -Wpedantic in combination with
-Werror to the compiler here.

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?
