Hi Tom -- SCons should be using the exit status of your program, but in the
normal case of a program that returns an error you don't get a stack trace
from SCons, so I think something else is going on.  Are you sure your
program is the exact target/action causing the error?  You can turn on
--taskmastertrace=- to see more details.  If that doesn't help, try adding
a print stmt into do_execute in /opt/swt/install/scons-2.1.0/
lib/scons-2.1.0/SCons/Executor.py.  I'd start by printing act, and target
(or maybe str(target[0]).)
