It does not make sense to optimize each and every binary that way, just 
the timeconsuming ones.

Some packages, like the C library glibc, have optimized routines for 
different cpus and choose the right routine based on cpu.

Instead of doing the Gentoo approach, I suggest to monitor your system, 
figure out the bottlenecks and find ways to improve those routines - 
that will help everybody,
