Still, if it's not necessary, this is a big drawback and especially so if an application was depending on these through some chain. One solution that comes to mind would be having two versions of some part of this chain where one depends on and uses a compiler and the other doesn't. Both would provide the dependency but have different build options. Some conflict or replacement scheme would stop installing both. This would be extra trouble of course.
