Apparently, Waf started as a fork of SCons. [1][2]

I don't know anything about fbuild; others might.

A feature/alternative matrix could be helpful (in addition to a preliminary
implementation) for making a cogent argument (in PEP form [3][4]). This is
possible in RST with table or list-table syntax.
