Sorry about that.  I'll come up with a fix shortly.

I guess I've gotten so used to using "git clean -dxf" to start with a
*really* clean slate that I hadn't used "scons -c in a while.  But I
should have tested it after changing SConstruct.

It's unfortunate that the configure phase is so slow and verbose that
suppressing it during cleaning or helping is quite useful, since that
leads to more inconsistencies.
