Considering that often SCons is cited as gret build system which can become
slow, running under PyPy looks as easy way to optimize performance.

However, PyPy compatibility list
(https://bitbucket.org/pypy/compatibility/wiki/scons) says: "SCons is not
compatible with PyPy. A large part of its test suite fail under recent PyPy
versions."

Anyone can shed some more light on it?
