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.
