Whether Ant is a "reasonable" solution for non-Java code is not really possible to answer in a vacuum.
At IBM, we build WebSphere Application Server for both zOS, os400 and distributed platforms (Linux, Windows, AIX, etc.) using Ant plus our custom extensions, including the native (i.e. C) code portions. This is reasonable for us because we're already using Ant to build all of the Java code. It's certainly possible to use Ant to build C code. Reasonable is an exercise left to the reader.

I am trying to be more precise here: has anyone used ant for building c applications on mainframe for instance?And is it a reasonable solution for such a purpose?
