Are you working in some really esoteric line?  How often do you need to
compile esoteric options into grep or less or awk?

For any but the most unusual demands, 99% of packages in a Linux
distribution simply do not need to be recompiled.  Not only that but
only a very few of them benefit from being recompiled with
optimisations.
