When global options (attribute) are specified in a Tool based module, it will not be callable anymore because the following line will throw an exception:
SCons/Tool/__init__.py:178::
self.options(opts)
Instead it should be a simple assignment afaik like:
self.options=opts
At least I was able to continue using my module'd config afterwards.

Bug party triage. If present, 'options' is intended as a callback when the tool is called explicitly. Unfortunately, this usage is not documented. Steven to document such reserved usage and then WONTFIX this issue. Marcel, you should use a different name in your module.

Bug party triage. Steven to document restriction and mark issue WONTFIX.
Where would one document this? Is there a document targeted at tool writers? Certainly doesn't seem like a manpage candidate.
Hmm. there's https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/ToolsForFools
and/or this: https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#idm3860
Maybe Tools chapter in userguide, to follow the Builder section? Not sure I could volunteer to write that though. So the wiki page I guess is the best first step.
