Do you have any concrete examples? I see it stated as a use case, but I've never seen it in the wild.
Personally speaking, I cross-compile daily using CMake with toolchain files. Some modern RTOSes use CMake exclusively e.g. Zephyr or mBed. CMake supports quite a few open source and proprietary toolchains, and they all work perfectly well, and integrate nicely with whatever build tools and IDEs you care to use.
Interactive flashing and debugging via JTAG or SWD/SWO in CLion, Eclipse or vsCode is nice. You aren't getting that with the autotools...
- aprdm 6y agoWell I left the embedded industry a while ago. There was some movement towards Yocto but we used autotools for everything. I worked in the VOIP industry ~14 years ago and in the electrical sector ~8 years ago.
