I have mixed feelings about the security gains.

On one hand, you eliminate one attack vector since you take ldd out of the equation. On the other hand, you depend on packagers who distribute their programs to rebuild and relink them every time a security issue creeps up a library they link with. I'm not sure I like that, and I don't have the free time I had in high school when compiling everything by hand seemed really fucking cool.
