It would certainly be nice to have the option, but OTOH many Pd users may not even care about the stand-alone Faust compiler, and so I can see why Pierre did it this way. It makes the package self-contained, and independent of the Faust version that happens to be available on the target system. (Which may be really ancient in the case of older stable Debian/Ubuntu releases.) The fact that there's no portable way to figure out where the Faust include files and libraries are doesn't help either; remember that the build also has to work on Mac and Windows. But let's see what Pierre thinks about this, I see that you already submitted a ticket on it.
