Generally speaking, should compiler_types.h be considered "internal"?
i.e. everyone should include compiler.h, not compiler_types.h directly?
Eg for another potential case that might bite is that RELOC_HIDE is
defined in compiler_types.h, except for clang, which will only have a
definition if compiler.h is included.
