[Scons-users] Has anyone seen anything like this

[Bill Deegan]

Generally when you see something like no longer a dependency/is a new it
can be because the ordering of the sources has changed. (this can happen
(among other ways) when the source list is generated via Glob("*.c") for
example).
Though in your case is it possible the CPPPATH is not the same for each run
(possibly generated via Glob())?

Which version of SCons are you using?
