Build support in general isn't great. The way external objects are linked is a bit hinky, cross compilation support is poor, and running multiple instances of the compiler at the same time on the same machine isn't supported.

Not sure what you mean by that last bit. That seems like something handled by asdf or some other package management tool.

I mean if you do, one instance will delete intermediate build objects of another instance, etc.
