If headers are only needed at compile time, then it's trivial: no compilers -> no headers. If headers can be needed at runtime (and here the DTrace compile-time counts, because from a user's perspective it's runtime), then... this gets harder. You could say that installing apps that need headers at runtime -> install headers. That will work.
