What most ppl do in that case is to just provide a script, for

Nice going there :)
Build scripts never have been scalable. A good language shall
only require a compiler and source file(s). No extra voodoo
mumbojumbo. This is why we have all those pragmas and the -i
switch.
Scalable or not it's a pretty common pattern. The build script is
modular.
I wouldn't call the linker "mumbojumbo". Voodo maybe, yes.
