For end-user, compiling GNU C/C++ based projects is the same thing as installing software on Windows, just instead of pressing "install" button you type "make", and that's how user "installs" software. Easy.
MAME should not release any official binaries, just make sure it's easy for the end user to compile their custom build where they can exclude all those games and features they do not want.
Why make yourself a problem with releasing any binaries when you can leave the problem to end-user, which will not be a problem at all if you make it simple enough, it would be very universal solution.
