This isn’t strictly true, the layering in Docker works on a per RUN command 
basis, so if you compose a single command that installs the build tools, builds 
the thing, installs the thing, and uninstalls the build tools (and cleans up 
any cache), then that’s roughly equivalent to installing a single binary 
(except of course, in the time it takes).
