can you be a little bit more specific about why VariantDirs aren't a valid solution for you? It would also be interesting to know 
about how many targets and source files we are talking about here (in rough numbers). Are all source files compileable for both 
targets, so could one possibly use VariantDirs to compile the basic Objects...and then, in a separate SConscript, collect them 
together into the final executables as needed for each target system?

My first impression is that a good answer can only be given in relation to your current build structure, so a few more infos would 
be helpful.

Best regards,

Dirk
