I was going to say the same about noarch/arched packages and gcc
assumption, also that I don't see any "simplification" in hardcoding the
default compiler everywhere, specially as It probably depends on the build
target . I remember other distros were using cross-compiler in buildroot
and that was working pretty fine if the default "compiler" wasn't
needlessly assumed.

Another case about the default buildroot is compiler version, one could
rely on a newer gcc (such as with a gcc5 package) and rebuild any packages
with this new buildroot environment without tweaking any sources packages.
