Last I looked it didn't seem possible to achieve the functionality of the build system without resorting to generated makefiles, which would either imply the use of further external tools or yet another make flavor. In light of the fact that orgmode was already using GNU make extensions, it seemed more prudent to use GNU make extensions to a fuller extent.
