Thanks.
also builds if you pass the entire path e.g. scons CC=/usr/lib/llvm/6/bin/clang but your approach seems better. The PATH exposed to builds is portage specific & shouldn't have any extra cruft. Your patch tests fine on my system.
Could you firstly send the patch to upstream?
who needs serf/svn nowadays
