Do we really need to rebuild world?
From what I understand problems arise if we have packages installing
static libraries that aren't built position independent.
However that's only a small fraction of packages and we should be
easily able to detect them.

Can't we just provide a small script or bash oneliner that will rebuild
all affected packages?

(other than that I think the profile plan sounds reasonable)
