Then you didn't correctly understand the issue. Go and read it again.
The issue is that saying ['a.txt', 'b.txt'] is the same say saying
['a.txt', 'c.txt'] if b.txt and c.txt have the same contents, ie it
will NOT trigger a rebuild, even though it should. The way you build
the list is 100% irrelevant as this is an internal implementation
detail of scons.
