The exact compiler version breaks AUTO_UPDATE and also will require unnecessary updates to frontend.h.

why does this break anything?

[MoonlightSentinel]

• The generated frontend.h will change with every new release due to this comment.
• compilable/dtoh_***.d use $n$ to avoid this problem but AUTO_UPDATE overwrites special sequences

(+ also when people eventually start to generate headers like we do with frontend.h they will run into the same problems).
