Kai-Uwe,

Yes scons is the build system for CVS versions of LProf.  In the read me it 
has details about how to set the build for CVS versions.  But I think CVS now 
needs something newer than scons-0.96 since older versions did not have Qt4 
support.  Try it with something newer like version 1.2 and it should be fine.  
The README file probably needs to be updated to reflect this.  

Also it is probably better to just install scons on your system rather than 
using a local copy in the lprof tree.  The reason that older versions of LProf 
included a local copy was that at the time many users distros did not supply a 
new enough version and it was simpler to include a local copy then to deal 
with all of the issues related to the versions that distros typically had.  I 
think that this is no longer an issue at least for newer distros.
