Hi Bill, it doesn't resolve the issue but I did go further and inserted 
a couple of print statements into TryBuild where it goes wrong.
The result of (the first line is about line 584 in SConf.py):
             nodes = builder(target = target, source = source)
             print("\nnodes = ",nodes)
             if not SCons.Util.is_List(nodes):
                 nodes = [nodes]
                 print("\n[nodes] = ",nodes)
             nodesToBeBuilt.extend(nodes)
             result = self.BuildNodes(nodesToBeBuilt)
             print("\nresult = ",result)

This results in :
  Checking for a working C-compiler TryLink

  nodes =  ['cache/conftest_0']
  TypeError : sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found

Thanks
