I don't know the details, but perhaps rather than overriding SCons
internals (which are subject to change), you could store all this
configuration in the Environment.  Use a different Environment for
each project, or part of project.  The builders can just use
$FLASH_XYZ to expand to whatever is different, because the environment
is remembered, and passed to the builder.  Perhaps this is similar to
wanting to use a different C compiler for different parts of a
project?  We do that, and just use different Environments to make it
work.
  env1.Object('foo1', foo1_sources)
  env2.Object('foo2', foo2_sources)
and so on.

In any case I don't think your step 0 is the right way to construct a
builder -- you should use the Builder() factory method.
