Which would be very unwise, and lead to many problem reports, since
buildworld is carefully building things in the right order, making sure
the headers and libraries are of the matching versions for the binaries.

E.g., people should only use this method if they know exactly what they
are doing, and how it can blow up in various interesting ways.
