I was a little surprised to see t/xs reporting "No compiler found to test XS builds", till I saw that it is checking for Extutils::CBuilder. Could that be added to build_recommends (or whatever the appropriate tag is) in META.yml? And perhaps the skip message could mention the module? Perhaps have_compiler could return different things for being unable to *look* for a compiler vs. unable to *find* one?
