Bmitry Mikhin already explained that: scons is executing "ls;" through
cmd.exe, because that's the value of env["SHELL"]. (Note: not
os.environ["SHELL"]).


Theoretically you could get it to use the MinGW shell by setting
  env["SHELL"] = env.WhereIs("bash")
or whatever, but this won't actually work: SCons will try to run
  bash /C ls
instead of
  bash -c ls
because /C is what cmd uses. I'm not sure how to fix this -- any
suggestions?
