I think C and C++ are a fair comparison in that their build ecosystems also a bit of a mess. I offer 3 counter-examples: Rust, Python, and JS-without-NPM.
edit: After reflection, I think Python straddles a middle ground. If you use modern packages and Python 3, it can be a smooth experience. If you use older (improperly-specified) packages, or FFI-wrapped-libs, it can turn into a mess too.
