Not withstanding this recommendation, shouldn't a source tarball associated
to an _official_release_ (to clarify: 6.04 when it will be ready, not
7.04-pre<n>) contain all that is needed for a regular user to rebuild all
binaries (included the PE/COFF images) using a "standard" toolchain
(with possibly some clearly stated requirements about that toolchain and/or
any other component of the system)?

If a specific component is not included in the tarball, IMO some document
in it should indicate that it is necessary and where to find it.

Or is that not possible for some reason?

Cheers,
Didier
