That's not going to be particularly feasible when generating bindings and other complex build processes. For example, the Qt bindings run shell commands as part of the build.rs. As does gettext-rs.
So I don't think it's unreasonable to think a developer could sneak in an exploit with "temporary code" to improve some part of the build process on Windows.
