It seems to me that if a given distro can be built either with a
compiler or without one (e.g. Params::Validate), then the answer
to "does it require a compiler" is a simple "no".
Only if that "either" is across all platforms.
If something, for example, was looking for /proc/ files on Linux,
but needed to compile some Win32 dep module on Windows, the the
answer isn't a simple "no", it's a "maybe" (at least in META.yml).
That's a separate issue - if the information listed in the META.yml
isn't authoritative, the dynamic_config flag should be set. It
doesn't make sense to put "maybe"s all over the config for each item
that could be affected.
