I didn't want to get in on the discussion, but for me every time you need
to recompile software to get to feature A, I consider it a bug.

Rebooting to enable a feature? Sure. Recompiling software to enable a
feature? What? Is this the middle ages? What happened to shipping
software/binaries that can work for everybody?

The way I see it, profiling currently works for *both*, users that need
the libs and users that don't need the libs.

Reducing compile times is not a worthy goal, IMHO, as no user should
ever have need to re-compile FreeBSD. Neither to tune something in
GENERIC nor to rebuild world.

Just my 2 cents,
