Comment (by hinder):
I don't like the trend towards building our own versions of libraries on
each machine. I see this as a fallback in case there is some problem with
the system libraries.
As Bruno points out, the system versions of libraries might well be
optimised or tailored in some other way to the particular machine. Unless
there is some problem with the system version (e.g. it has not been built
with all required options), I prefer to use that. This will save on
compilation time, disk space, and confusion if you have to report an error
and the machine admin finds that you are using a nonstandard installation
of a library.
