Description

At least for me, ChainRules failed to build on Julia v1.7.1 after pulling the latest changes from #597 last night. The error messages (sorry I didn't copy) mentioned that the recently added Base.allequal (julia #43354) is unrecognized. Possibly an issue with Compat controls, related to this comment in the PR? @mcabbott @niklasschmitz @mzgubic

Maybe it's just me, sorry to bother if so. I took this as a sign I should build v1.7.2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ChainRules build failure on Julia v1.7.1 after the changes from issue #597, focusing on the missing Base.allequal error and Compat controls. The original report does not name affected files or tests; done means identifying whether the compatibility configuration causes the build failure and confirming a successful build on the affected Julia version.
