It allows to avoid the burden of rebuilding everything over and over from scratch. Personally, I don't understand why every Linux distro rebuild software from source. Arch, Fedora, Debian, etc - all build the same software multiple times. I see it as unneeded waste of human and computing resources. I understand that rebuilding is unavoidable for `musl` targets though. We can mark such packages as `x86_64`-only. I see no problem here. P. S. Maybe I don't get something, critique is welcomed.
