Use for what exactly?
I'd be hesitant to require such things to build from a tarball,
or to run regression tests. If it's used to build a generated file
that we include in tarballs, that might be workable ... but I'd bet
a good fraction of the buildfarm falls over (looks like all four of
my animals would), and you might get push-back from developers too.

I suspect it'd have to be quite a remarkable improvement to justify
adding a new required build tool ... but show us an example.
