Chrome supported this for a long time and it really helped small developers outside of Google be able to build chrome without specialist machines.

But that feature was pulled by the chrome team with the stated justification being that since C++ guaranteed different things (iirc around variable scopes outside of a namespace) for one file vs multiple files, supporting the jumbo build option meant writing some language that was "not C++".

Unfortunate.
