[Scons-users] Changes in linker options don't rebuild SharedLibrary

[Jason Swager]

Thanks for the update.  I was getting rather worried because I was pretty
sure that this sort of thing worked in earlier versions of SCONS.

Any idea when SCons 2.4 might be released (assuming it includes the fix)?
 Although I personally have no problem switching to a dev version of SCons,
I'm going to face some pressure when I try to use that in the rest of our
dev organization.  Having an "official" release would make the introduction
much more smooth.
Thanks for the quick responses!
