I do not need to read the entire codes to come up with an audited, 
compiled, and secured
system.  Depending on the security requirements I priorities what I need 
to look for.

People far more experienced than I will tell you exactly the same thing.
 

I am sorry, but many more people have  written and told the same story I 
have told
here.

Try and search Google or Yahoo about Computer OS Security Process 
Compilation
or something similar and you will probably hit one or two sites that 
says in some
US Military or Gov Departments compilation of everything for  security 
reasons
are required.

I'm not suggesting you copy the USA, I'm just making a point because it 
seems you
are not aware of this generic rule.
