It wouldn't run on other systems if the full optimisations were used.
Gentoo can do this as each user compiles the code and ends up with
binaries for their own CPU/setup that hopefully work.

Fedora does ship 686 optimised kernel, glibc and openssl, that seems to be
the key bits it helps. You can however rebuild any rpm source package with
other options (eg -Os for size optimisation or CPU specific optimisations)
