I think a distribution similar to Gentoo, where the software is compiled at install time, could do something like this.

(I don't know enough about Gentoo to know if it already does.)

The single number one gripe about Gentoo was how long it took to build packages, closely coupled to the difficulty in keeping a system up-to-date.

In response, Gentoo developed methods to ship binaries for the common cases.
