I don't know what this bastardly thing does but it uses 'g++' instead of my CXX, and moreover it somehow calls g++ directly rather than using distcc wrapper through PATH. I would suspect it hardcodes /usr/bin/g++ somewhere. The results are slow compilation, abuse of build jobs (since distcc limiting doesn't work) and eventually OOM-ing on me.
Ok, it's actually scons' fault. It ignores PATH by default, and build systems have to explicitly force respecting it...

It would be nice to get this upstream. Or make SCons respect the environment. Or even better make them dump this ugly piece of SCons and use a sane build system. Like waf or something.
