I think that's an intriguing suggestion.  I wonder about challenging
the premise a little: maybe Emacs could be made to understand the
circumstances of compilation.  For example, an option to configure (or
make) could mung the value of some constant, expecting (e.g.) me to
pass a certain value when making Emacs binaries for Windows for
redistribution.  I wonder if this would be used often enough to create
more specific messages to be worth the bother, however.   In any
event, if you'd (anyone who would) like to discuss/request that (or
just continue discussing the opportunity to add staticly to the
messaging in this one case, please open a thread on devel (or new bug
report); I've closed this one.
