I often wondered that myself. It is irritating to no end to have this
kind of nonsense. We give our source code away, but we have no users
that are capable of compiling a complex bit of software. We simply
must distribute binaries!
I'm not sure exactly what the problem is, but the LSB I think is
working on something like this. I don't know what state it is in now,
but at the time, it still could not compile C++ applications so it was
useless for me.
Anyway, here's the link:
http://www.freestandards.org/en/LSB
Browsing it, it seems much more evolved now.
