Do you suggest to replace the existing build system, or to add an 
additional build system?

In general, I don't think more than one build system is justified, 
as this complicates support and not needed unless there are major 
limitations in all build systems being used which cannot be fixed.

Also, I tend to think that switching to an external build system 
isn't really a good option due to inherent compatibility and 
portability limitations.

Do you think there are issues with the existing build system?  If 
you think there are, a better option might be to focus on 
resolving these issues.
