I realize that with build instructions written in unrestricted 
language it is easier to create a dependency on something else 
than the compiler, such as the OS. Maybe they plan to solve this 
problem with appropriate facilities and discipline.

With standard build systems, the produced object file can depend 
on some specific state of the OS too (I think there were Windows 
updates influencing how VisualStudio was producing object files).
