There's a reason these test files explicitly include <__config>

The <dynarray> tests are empty unless you are compiling for C++14.
But the test (_LIBCPP_STD_VER > 11) is not a valid test (i.e, _LIBCPP_STD_VER doesn't get defined) unless you include a libc++ header file.
<__config> is where _LIBCPP_STD_VER gets set.

So, we have to include _something_ before testing.
<__config> is small, has no other dependencies, and sets the variable we need to test.

<__config> is not a compiler-specific thing.
It's a libc++-specific thing; and this is the libc++ test suite.
