Traditional software your instructions won't work for:

GNU coreutils: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/plain/README...

sudo: https://www.sudo.ws/packaging.html

curl (does use configure and make but you need to pass args for your tls lib): https://curl.se/docs/install.html

Once you get into GUI's, all bets are pretty much off, e.g.

Firefox: Custom Python buildscript: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/linux_build.ht...

KDE anything: Custom build tooling: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development#Applicati...

Blindly running ./configure && make && make install isn't the universal norm you think it is
