Yeah, but it requires re-implementing all those tools. If you

You just need a two step build process.
Two-step build process is complicated and tedious. The point
here is to
avoid senseless complications.
If you rely on third party tools for code gen, it will be
complicated either way.
Going this path means that you have to turn the compiler into a
full build system. That finds the right tools in the path, gives
good error messages if they are absent, that caches results etc.
