In over 30 years of programming, I have never had to debug a makefile. I think I would just retire if I ever had to.

The problem is that all build tools that allow this make it more complex than simply writing a small script that does exactly what you need. Add to that that some dependemcies use a different build tool that you use. Adding a cmake dependency to a make project makes everything even more complex.
