I actually still don't understand that.
Archiving up the installed form includes source.
What is the value of doing the ship/directory reorganization upon install?

However, it is kind of a step toward a distribution that includes assembly
for everything and then assemble, c compile, link, and ship on the target.
(You might even use autoconf/libtool, though their powers will be severely
constrained by the presence of assembly.)
And such a distribution is easily cross built for all targets in one fell automated
swoop on one host, good, valuable that way.
