As somebody having a big C++/Qt/cmake project: there are basically two corner cases for the build scenario: |

1. Doing a full clean build — that's what's relevant for Gentoo, and in this case the speed of make or ninja is hugely offset by the compilation speed, and their overhead is negligible. |

2. Doing an incremental build after changing a couple of files — that's what relevant during normal development, and arguably not that relevant for Gentoo. And, ninja doesn't have that much of a speed advantage lately in this case. In fact, make turns out to be faster in the latter if the project is using automoc in cmake. |

Just my two cents. |
