IMO, it was done because it was convenient and "easier" with the old build system. I don't think there's any better reason for it. The -Werror stuff also caused a split into a "clean" and a "non-clean" lib, which can be handled much better with the CMake mechanism (and which is near the top of my todo list). I'd really like to undo that change, because I don't see any advantage in doing it the "old" way.
