The best thing is to get those projects to switch to a sane build system (http://www.cmake.org/) which cares about backwards compatibility and doesn't bundle itself nor any generated shell scripts. Failing that, they need to be patched to build with the version of waf we ship, whether it's newer or older than the one upstream uses.
