Good luck bisecting that code base when any version of it did
anything even mildly specific to the author's PC.
Where your build system lives makes zero difference to bisecting.
You can have author-PC specific behavior in the build recipe
whether that's in a source file or a "build script".
I guess it would be more compartmentalized though. But being able
to say "the code here needs this feature" (which is not something
you can do when the code doesn't know how to compile itself)
could seems pretty useful.
