The purpose of -a (ask) is so you can see the stuff before taking action, and
if it needs rebuilding then do it. Nothing is rebuilt just because it shows up
in the output; but not seeing changes to a package you use that were made is
not too bright.
If you ever built from source before, I'm sure you didn't blindly build the
software without reading ./configure --help and checking your options.
