Instead of building for a single strategy ? The only counter argument I can think of is that it is easer to ship binaries if they are monolithic/static builds. It would be an interesting use case to see if we could ship statically linked binaries across families of processors and make them work. If that were the case, then we could supply an eselect/slot interface so that you could switch between them easily at runtime.
