Same can be extended for other tools that are generally used in builds like make. I never heard someone say that they need to build make from source so they can build X, unless of course you're using something like Linux From Scratch.
I build cmake from source but TBF that's because projects sometimes depend on specific version ranges for features that they use (either brand new or recently removed).
