Hi Gabe, Reorganizing the SCons files would undoubtedly improve the build system. Before you get started down this road, I thought you'd might like to know some of the discussions we've been having about the gem5 build system.
We've been musing a move away from SCons. I think Andreas has done some initial work in getting cmake support, and we've been talking to some Google people about the pros/cons of moving to Bazel. We don't have any short-term plans, and I haven't done anything more than look at it and become overwhelmed. So take this information however you like :).
