That's a hen and egg problem then - one would need PHP to build

we don't have the infrastructure to provide binaries for all the
platforms we support (there's more than Linux and Windows)
That's what I thought too, but you still still have the same
(chicken/egg) issues of PHP being dependent on what OS the
AutoTools/CMake facility works on.
The basic requirement of being able to port the minimal set of PHP
files
for an OS would still need to required in either case.
If the porting is simpler for autotools/cmake than raw PHP, then I
can
see that as a plus.
Well the difference ist: For an own build system _we_ do to have it
our
own and verify it on each platform, autotools/cmake are used by lots
of
other projects with many many more contributors which keeps the things
running. Additional most OS packagers add these tool to their packages
themselves as they are essentially for compiling basically anything.
Without autotools you can't compile many stuff PHP depends on on the
platform so the autotools have to be ported anyways before PHP can be
build there....
+1
Take other path is shoot yourself in the foot. Autotools and CMake are
very mature and take care of many problems across differents
architectures.
