I fixed it with this. I can probably do this better with something other than sed. Oh well. Here it is:

cat SConstruct | \
    sed -e "s|return 'unsupported'|'return unsupported'\nenv = Environment()\nenv.SConsignFile()|g" > temp.txt
mv temp.txt SConstruct

What needed to be added was two lines of code to the SConstruct file. These lines are:

env = Environment()
env.SConsignFile()

These lines need to be added before any of the CPPPATH,LIBPATH and all that other stuff gets defined.
I placed it on lines 58-59. That may not be the most logical place for it though. These two lines has scons create the .sconsign files in one large .sconsign file in the top 
build directory rather than creating multiple .sconsign files all over the filesystem during the compilation.

I placed the sed script in my ebuild. It may break something though if SConstruct is changed in a way that has more lines that say return 'unsupported' in it.

Thanks,
Jeremiah
