I'm inclined to think the latter - that the precise step order has somehow
confused scons.

Presumedly you mean "/usr/bin/*ffado*" here.  Could you post the output of

  ls -l /usr/bin/*ffado*

Presumedly it's the timestamp on these files which leads you to believe that
they are the versions supplied by Ubuntu (right?).

Ordinarily this would indicate that scons thinks that everything is already
up to date.  That's why I'm interested to see the output of the "ls" command
given above.

I don't *think* it could be a caching issue, but I guess anything is
possible.  If in doubt I gues you could always check out a fresh libffado
source tree, compile that, and see what happens.
