the problem is that you defined '.tos' as suffix for your program, but 
internally the Program builder still uses the default '.exe' extension. 
Please try to set $PROGSUFFIX explicitly, either in the environment or 
for your single call:

env.Program(target=MIDI_SEQ_TEST_EXE,source=[midiOut_test_src + 
env.Object(input_src)], LIBS=[LIBRARYNAME + LIB_POSTFIX,'m'], 
PROGSUFFIX='.tos')

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Dirk
