Does this mean I need to build it myself or is the binary gonna ship this way?

I'm sure those who build it themselves could have enabled this in earlier versions already, and I assume this means the pre-built binaries now enable this.

The binary should ship that way unless your distro decided otherwise. You can easily check by going to about:buildconfig and seeing which compiler was used.
