I think she's talking about adding link rules based on the #includes. But yeah, you can learn how to use Make, or you can write yet-another replacement tool that other people who never learned to use Make get excited about.

Most make tools indeed suck, but some don't. And Make itself also sucks -- it was just there first.

djb/apenwarr's "redo" is a good make alternative, infinitely simpler and about as capable.

tup is a good make alternative, that does away with dependency definitions, recursive makes, etc. It just works and works quickly.
