I don't understand your issues. We build everything in a variant dir
(what superseds a build dir in SCons 0.98), and we don't have troubles
indicating where are the sources and where are the targets as SCons
makes hard links between every source file and the build dir. Perhaps
I didn't understand exactly what you need, but it seems that just
calling the sub SConstruct scripts with :
variant_dir = "$BUILDROOT",
should be enough so that you don't have to do something more with the BUILDROOT.
