There is no way to use another backend on Linux, and meson will not support
Make. Ninja is a big part of the appeal here, since it is faster than make is.
Are there particular tools you know don't work with ninja? It seems like in the
7+ years since ninja came out that someone would have fixed the tools, or that
some stream redirection could be used to fix the problem, "ninja 1>&2"?
