This  doesn't  make much sense unless every other program
is built the same way.  (A stark counterexample is Emacs.)

IOW,  that  wouldn't  increase  the  "build toolset"  much
because there probably be lots of other software that needs
to be installed on the same machine, and some of them will
*do so* (as in "Not *doing so* is deliberate in some cases").

Writing   code   inevitably   involves  making  changes  to
documentation.
