I assume this is with dev-util/scons-3.0.1-r100 (python3). There are some fishy instances of b"" strings in the SConstruct file, will test further tomorrow.

[Comment 9 Hector Martin 2018-06-26 09:58:17 UTC]

Looking at this now.

[Comment 10 Hector Martin 2018-06-26 10:35:20 UTC]

This is definitely a SCons bug. Filing upstream. In the meantime, the workaround is to disable CacheDir. I'll bump to 2.4.1 and patch that in for now.
