The idea having subpackages where one subpackage is used to build another subpackage breaks CMake's (and autotools, and most things') brains. I've been talking to the Meson devs about how it would be really nice to nail this in Meson. Compiler's build systems are usually an absolute mess, and there's no reason it needs to be this way. As a distro maintainer, compiler's terrible build systems are in fact my #1 source of issues.
