Sorry for the delayed reply. ExtUtils::Builder has been split up into two distributions; The first is ExtUtils-Builder-Plan, which contains a number of abstractions as an interface between building processes and the end users of building processes (EUMM, MB, autoconfigurators, …), this is explained in [1]. I believe this is pretty much ready for public consumption, but feedback is most welcome. The second piece is ExtUtils-Builder itself[2], which contains various general purpose compiler/linker abstractions. It has a driver model for various kinds of compilers and linkers, and configurator/profile classes to set them up. The former feels solid to me, the latter should probably be reworked somewhat but I'm not sure yet what I want the new version to look like. Then there's a third piece that I recently wrote independent of EU::B, which is ExtUtils::HasCompiler. This is aimed to be a minimalistic (currently one dep on 5.8, I expect to bring that down to zero in the future) solution to the question "can I compile an XS extension on this platform or not".
