one could try that, I guess. But then you have to specify the "build/ext.o" as output in your SConstructs/SConscripts explicitly 
(note how the name of the build dir is hardwired into the full relative path). You can't simply setup just another build variant by 
copy-pasting the SConscript/variant_dir call and providing another build path. This is the route to mayhem, in my opinion...it might 
work, but I'd stay away from it.

Best regards,

Dirk
