Many popular programs *do* ship as source only, and leave it to the
community to build and make available binaries for platforms that the
community wants. This way, the developers don't have to maintain
builds for anything but the platforms they actually care about, and a
particular platform is supported only to the extent that third parties
put effort into it and share the result.

I don't see why you shouldn't do the same.
