I am not able to see the difference it makes. Normally when you 
bisect you build the program to test using the build system. Is 
not it equivalent to what the Jai compiler would do?
What cases do you have in mind?

It depends on the developer not doing anything stupid in the 
build instructions, be it compiler-executed or not. Doesn’t it?
