The devs were right that this does happen with other compilers as well and has been an issue with a great many compilers across a great many languages for as long as I can recall (I remember tearing Windows binaries apart in the 90s to glean information about the developers environment). Thankfully this is less of an issue these days due to the proliferation of containerisation technologies and automated build pipelines, meaning the build system can be completely separated from developers working environment (eg a Jenkins box)
