These builds are typically great for production but terrible for development, since everything needs to be recompiled when any file is changed. Also, using static to mark functions as file-private no longer works. This is sure to cause headache. But the benefits may be worthwhile.

FWIW, I use ENABLE_ALLINONE_BUILD=ON as a default build option in Qt port and don't have any "terrible" development experience. Even when I need to make a change in file that is not port-specific, usually just one of AllInOne files needs to be recompiled

Of course this may not be good for people actively developing Web-facing code
