I don't think it's really a "Linux -based software building requirement" so much as I don't want to have to depend on somebody else to have built all the packages I want. On Slackware I can do it myself, and in the end the system is a lot leaner.
I don't think that's really such an unreasonable goal and I wish it were simpler on BSDs.
