From above site:
"A fragile build system may preclude you from supporting diversity. Diversity in terms of platform targets for your software enables you to keep your vendor options open. Makefile, Project, and workspace Creator was originally developed by OCI to assist the ACE and TAO open source development community in supporting multi-platform software.

Developing applications that span platforms (portable code) has the beneficial side effect of producing more robust implementations. It does this by keeping your developers close to the mainstream of language features. MPC minimizes the additional cost normally associated with supporting more than one platform.
