What do you think? I think you are making a lot of sense and yes, parameters should probably be able to customize the builder as well. But as I understand it, all the "configurable part" of the builder is expose through the #:arguments field. A simple example of this is python: the python-build-system has an argument which allows the package to specify whether we use python-2 or python-3. In this case, it's trivial to use parameters to influence which compiler the build system will use. For gnu-build-system (with gcc, clang, etc.) we can probably do similar things already by setting CC. The solution to your problem in my opinion is simply to expose just the right amount of options through #:arguments for all build systems. Would that be satisfactory to you? -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
