Seems reasonable. I had thought I was carefully ensuring different
target directories for the three different configurations.

That was the plan :-)

Thank you, I much appreciate this.

Pull request merged and proved to be efficacious. However I do not
understand it. It feels a bit awkward, is this the only idiomatic way
of doing it? Is there an indication here of a problem not come across
with C, C++, and Fortran, but now highlighted with D?

Merged thanks, but I need a lesson in why. :-)

Thanks again for taking a look at this.

It has to be said Meson handles this better, I wonder if there is
something that SCons can take from Meson here?
