Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 The arbitrary compiler requirement could simply be upstream deciding to
 not invest too much effort in supporting every potentially compatible
 compiler. As it is, MySQL will cut off support early for platforms deemed
 sufficiently unpopular (I don't know if they accept patches that improve
 compatibility for unsupported platforms, but they definitely won't if
 using one is mentioned: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=99799). MySQL
 also recommends using their binary installer, so installing from source
 may also already be unpopular enough that they'll only bother with making
 sure it builds with the most popular/readily available compiler for each
 platform (Xcode in macOS' case).
