     Maybe Gentoo does this, although I'm not sure, but the philosophy 
is very different: they compile everything from source. And it doesn't 
install as smoothly as Devuan.


     In Devuan it means something very unusual: the installer must first 
install gcc, generate a config file and compile the kernel. It is not an 
easy task to generate a working config for any hardware combination. The 
resulting kernel package would be local and couldn't undergo upgrades.
