+1, seems obvious, and no obvious detractions.

That way we build each library once only per production,assert or debug build, and not once per specific build.  This way we can share e.g. the openssl library built from build.macos*/third-party/openssl between all of the builds (stack & cog x pharo,squeak,newspeak), which is 6 times less build effort.
