-n is the dry-run option - show actions but don't execute them.  If
libgps.so.22.0.0 didn't exist before you ran 'scons -n libgps.so.22.0.0', 
this is exactly what I would expect to see.

I am not clear how this relates to "ais_json.o is static and is not 
compatible with shared target".  Are you getting this on all platforms?
It might relate to a post-2.0.1 feature, in which case I need to back out 
my most recent change to SConstruct.
