Re: SConsignFile(None) + Decider('MD5-timestamp')

scons -u is what you want.
See the manpage..

If you're not processing all the SConscripts your build may be out of
date.. assuming the current directory depends (recursively) on any other
directories targets.

Also see: https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/GoFastButton

--implicit-deps-unchanged
and
--implicit-cache

Should help some, but note if your implicit dependencies change will be
missed.

Which version of SCons/Python are you using?
