Let \(X\) be an irreducible building that is neither spherical nor affine. The authors show that every sufficiently large automorphism group \(G\) of \(X\) admits many non-trivial quasi-morphisms \(G\to\mathbb{R}\). Applied to Kac-Moody groups over integral domains, this yields examples of finitely presented simple groups with infinite commutator width; compare \textit{A. Muranov} [Int. J. Algebra Comput. 17, No. 3, 607-659 (2007; Zbl 1141.20022)].
