I'm not necessarily recompiling for every box. Should have made that more clear in my earlier note.

I get a good compile, make a package, then stick it on the Jumpstart or AI server and I am good to go.

Regardless of the quality of OS provided packages, if compile time options you require are not there, its pretty much a necessity to build your own.

In my opinion the maintained packages should be the best they can be and if
I have to compile things myself it is a failure, so much so that I try to
communicate with the package maintainers when a package needs extra
work/options.
