In that case I reckon you need one of the DIY distros. e.g.

Linux from Scratch. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
Source Mage. http://sourcemage.org/

Gentoo http://www.gentoo.org/ is also a possibility, but you mention that as
being undesirable.

I'm sure some of us would be prepared to set up our machines as hosts in a
compiler farm for you.

Volunteers CLUGgers?
