I can't imagine a worse goal to have, other than obviously perverse
ones like "make our software {less reliable, slower, harder to use}."
What is the advantage to using build tools that are notoriously
unreliable, often encode knowledge of the build server's
configuration, and fail to use the contents of the proto area?
OpenSSL is the poster child for proper integration of
externally-developed software into the OpenSolaris software universe.
I can understand wanting to decrease build time. This makes no sense.
