There are a number of people who can't use mach because of the way it
does environment detection (e.g. how it resolves object directories and
other paths).
There are numerous bugs on the issue. We even have bug 912114 tracking
everywhere that mach and the build system is doing something wrong or
inefficient. There are many workflows and thus code paths that need
considered. It's a complicated problem to solve.
I've typed up a proposal at [1] that I believe will fulfill the
requirements of most of the people who can't use mach today because it
isn't compatible with their workflow. Please leave comments on that pad
or reply here with suggestions for improvement.
I hope to have a solution landed in the next few weeks.
