I think you mean LINQ to SQL rather than LINQ - LINQ is a query language, not the ORM/provider. Last I heard MS were trying to deprecate LINQ to SQL in favour of the entity framework.
In practice a lot of developers end up using open source build tools like nant and rake in preference to msbuild as they tend to be more flexible in other build environments like TeamCity/Hudson.
