I just found a reason, why this feature is problematic. When I use
specific modifications for building the IDE, in both the IDE and LCL
code, these modifications are not always appropriate for other
applications. Should I nowadays use different installations, for
building the IDE and applications, with different build settings for all
packages?

This is an option only for reporting bugs. Currently e.g. (Delphi
compatible) docking is broken in the LCL, so that modifications are
required for building the IDE and other applications.
