[Scons-users] skip_tools in Environment?

[Bill Deegan]

Dirk,

I agree, but I'm guessing I could knock out a tool black list in an
afternoon including tests and documentations, and the new toolchain logic
is still a work in progress.

We have slots, and the cross-language scanner logic queued up to get to
default and then released as well. I'm guessing new toolchain logic would
be a major release and should wait until (at least) after slots, if not
also after the scanner logic.

I was just trading emails on the list with the guy about aix and gcc, and
the thought of black list and it's simplicity to implement and roll out
came to mind..

-Bill
