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.
