Most linux distribution packages separate the compiled binary and the
develepment package (include headers and link libraries). If you built
the tool from scratch you would have everything at your disposal,
although the process is a little more difficult. There's a couple
reasons for this practice:

1) A significant number of linux boxes are still servers at heart. That
means you are deploying to them, not compiling on them.
2) In internet DMZs, boxes need to be hardened. That means no
compilers, no compiler artifacts, as well as a number of other security
features.

By separating the packages folks who need to do compilation can, and
folks who need to harden their servers can.
