I think it is rather unusual for anyone to build for 30 different targets from
the same set of installed headers.

And I don't see how that is a "furball". You'd only have to write a script for

I think you should pick whatever suits you.

Then consider helping us do exactly that instead of running away screaming...
It is easy to complain, it is much harder to actually do things. For this
particular feature, I suppose there haven't been enough demand for a smoother
