If there is a clear packaging guideline and a macro framework in-place
i.e.:
%bcond_with checked_build
[...]
%configure
[...]
%if %{with checked_build}
--enable-debug --enable-gc-friendly --disable-mem-pools
%endif
Or even just:
%global checked_build_configure_opts --enable-debug --enable-gc-friendly --disable-mem-pools
[...]
%configure_checked (which would do something like the above)
then all packages that support this can be built twice, automatically.
There should probably be some special generated Provides and Requires,
too, I guess.
It would still require significant effort to support this in koji and
composes. I'm not sure how useful that would be in general, but you're
welcome to propose a system-wide change and work on this.

oppression to develop psychic muscles.
