What do companies use to build their binaries?

What do modern companies use to compile and link their projects? Especially with large projects, makefiles don't seem usable enough to be scalable.

Any suggestions? Code and artwork/assets are all in SVN, and we don't want to port it to GCC or another compiler before anyone suggests it!

I have a continuous integration build system that generates an RPM via a shell script triggered by cron.
