It's not that difficult to eliminate aimk in SGE.

aimk just sets a set of variables (CFLAGS, CC, include path, etc) for
make, so the whole build process is still Makefile based.

Switching from aimk to something more "modern", like using autoconf,
would take at most 2 or 3 weeks of work. I am sure a Summer of Code
student can handle the task easily... But on the other hand, why fix
something that isn’t broken??
