> But for the other platforms, autotools definitely can do what you ask

Ugg... autotools. Yeah, lets use what feel like build tools created way back in the 60's or something. Sure they "work" for some value of "work" but oh boy are they ugly and nasty. Good luck hiring anybody under the age of 40 who is gonna be willing to work on such a clunky old tool.

There is a reason why the world is moving to build systems that replace the Make toolchain.
