I have personally no problem build all the tools from sources on any of  
Linux or Windows and I do that (more or less) regularily.

The point was that some shops use Windows and Linux as development  
platforms. They need the exact same version of tools on both platforms.   
If binary releases of the toolchain are provided, it is useful (or even  
necessary for some) to have them *synchronized*.
