Follow-up Comment #5, bug #52518 (project gnustep):

I have difficulties reviewing and accepting such a large patch and its testing
will require lots of regression on different platforms. I spent hours tweaking
the existing system  of Enrico for many small issues. A  mega-patch might have
unexpected consequences.
Especially inspectors were carefully tuned.

The current build system may be convoluted, but  it is tested on 3 BSDs,
Solaris, different Linux flavours and even HURD. Are there open issues?
Only the MDKit

I may add that as far as I know gnustep-make does not support off-tree builds
at all.

Also, I am now confused by what I should review, Yavor or Ivan's work.
I would have preferred a more gradual approach.
