Of course. Invoking the actual build system to get data out of it is also 
how the CMake support in KDevelop 5 works.

That, however, does not address the Turing-completeness issue, as it will 
crash (lock up) your IDE if the code in the build system does not terminate, 
which can happen if the language is Turing-complete.
