i'm pretty sure that's just scons being crappy and you can't really do anything about it, beyond just, getting rid of scons i mean we could improve scons but... i wish we could just get rid of it to be honest i personally hate all build systems, i think they are mostly crap, i wish there was a "push a button and have it do all the hard work for you, without manually having to type ten thousand files by hand" thingy people have claimed that meson would be faster, which i find a bit perplexing, since you'd think cmake would be a trllion times faster than everything else... but cmake just sucks donkey kong, plus the whole thing is just so tedious and boring to use, so either the people who make build systems are really incompetent, or i don't understand computers anymore
