Yes, ever tried to run GNU xargs on a non-Linux system? Last time I tried I had quite some dependencies to pull in too. Sometimes it's not available in binary form, so you'll have to compile it from source (including everything else in the findutils package), suddenly realizing that GNU code relies heavily on GNU libc. My code only needs a compiler (any standard C compiler will suffice) and a C library (again, any will suffice as long as POSIX is supported).
Also, in contrast to xargs, you're allowed to run more than 1 command in parallel. You could, for example, create gzip, bzip2, and LZMA compressed archives at the same time. Try that with xargs alone.

config.guess
CONFIG.GUESS(1) User Commands CONFIG.GUESS(1)
NAME
config.guess - guess the build system triplet
SYNOPSIS
config.guess [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
The GNU build system distinguishes three types of machines, the `build' machine on which the compilers are run, the `host' machine on which
the package being built will run, and, exclusively when you build a compiler, assembler etc., the `target' machine, for which the compiler
being built will produce code.
This script will guess the type of the `build' machine.
Output the configuration name of the system `config.guess' is run on.
Operation modes:
-h, --help
print this help, then exit
-t, --time-stamp
print date of last modification, then exit
-v, --version
print version number, then exit
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
config.guess might need to compile and run C code, hence it needs a compiler for the `build' machine: use the environment variable
`CC_FOR_BUILD' to specify the compiler for the build machine. If `CC_FOR_BUILD' is not specified, `CC' will be used. Be sure to specify
`CC_FOR_BUILD' is `CC' is a cross-compiler to the `host' machine.
CC_FOR_BUILD a native C compiler, defaults to `cc'
CC a native C compiler, the previous variable is preferred
