I understood the question this way, maybe got it wrong:

a bunch of targets defined, each a sample app, including x and y

if I ask for x, y on scons command line, and x cannot build due to
external reason (missing tools), print a message and skip x

if I ask for y then don't print the message about skipping x since it's
irrelevant anyway
