I know that's possible, but it's a lot less convenient IMO - as I see it, the choice is:

find all of the binaries I think I'll need in advance (probably won't think of them all), patch them all, update them manually etc.

vs

set up a functional package manger in a chroot, and then install whatever I need, when I need it, from a massive repo where everything "just works", with easy access to updates and dependencies...
