Subject:   How is your product built at your place?

I've recently found two rather divergent approaches to building products.

1 - Loadbuild does all the Makefiles, knows all the products inside and 
out, works with the engineers to create the product, and fixes it if it 
the build breaks.

2 - Loadbuild makes the product, the engineers create their own Makefiles, 
and they fix it if the build breaks.

"Loadbuild" might a person or a team, but it's one part of the company.  
I'm just wondering how widely spread both approaches are.  Other factors 
which might affect the choice are: complexity of product, size of company, 
etc.

cheers
