OK.  For now, I'll just follow scons distclean with rm -r .sco*

I think this tangle is reasonably important.  Here is my story from this 
afternoon.

I was working on a system that was missing chrpath.  A good error message 
would be nice, but I recognized the problem.  A good error/warning message 
would be doubly nice if I had the library installed and it was going to test 
the wrong one.

I installed chrpath
scons check didn't work
scons -c, scons, scons check didn't work
rm -r .sco*, scons, scons check worked 

---------

scons check still gives me 3 errors:

Regression test FAILED: 3 errors in 87 tests total (0 not found).
The following test Failed:
================================================================
"test/daemon/trimble-lassen_iq-3dfix.log"
"test/daemon/trimble-lassen_iq-playacar.log"
"test/daemon/trimble-lassen_iq.log"

That's on Fedora.  I tried current, ancient, and pre-beta systems.  All get 
the same error.
