Oh, yes.  I wouldn't recompile multiple times.  That would take forever.
It is already pretty frustrating to make a change to the source tree,
recompile, and then find twenty minutes later that something is broken
in libjava (one of the last things to compile).

If I was doing this, I'd probably write a filter which detected what was
being installed by java, libstdc++, etc. and then build tar files based
on that.

It would be nice to break out the libstdc++ package as well.

I think it does, really.  But, this will probably cause massive
confusion for people who'd previously installed.
