The update to the build system is to support running any commands, make,nmake, waf, scons, cmake, ant, bjam, my_favourite_shell_script etc so the "Non-filetype commands" can't be called "make commands" anymore, and unfortunately the name "Build" has been appropriated for link, other suggestions welcome though, but there aren't many commonly understood terms about.
I agree that Non-filetype commands is not a great term. I would prefer "Global" or "General" commands, even if less specific, it's fairly clear and less tortuous.
