The configure support of scons seems to be in a very early stage. The 
problem is that the compiler/platform detection was performed to late in 
the configure process, so that this environment could'nt be used for the 
custom configuration process.

I have thoughed already if it would be better to create at first a 
initial environment detecting compiler/platform and than in a do the 
configure with this environment. bksys uses then the resulting 
environment for building. This requires a partial rewrite of the scons 
configuration stuff.

I have heard from several other issues reported by Thomas and others. It 
is posssible to collect all these issues, so that we can get an overview 
and may be able to find a good way out of this problems ?

Does anyone have discussed this issues already with the scons people ? 
May be they are aware of this problems and are interested in working 
together on a solution for this configure problems.
