Additionally, for the few places where you think it might a significant
difference (may, XFree86), the Debian build tools make it quite easy to
rebuild the debianised source tarballs with compiler options of your
choosing.

But some people are indeed liking Gentoo, others Sourcemage, Rock Linux,
Lunar Linux, etc.  All the same basic build-everything-from-source
notion, variously implemented.
