So I looked at my gem5 checkout here - a few folks have popped up on 
this list or on the SCons Discord with questions previously.  Lines 
you've quoted are right from the gem5 SConstruct, so I'm actually kind 
of guessing that someone at the project knows about this.  As outsiders 
(to gem5), we don't really know why they're doing things this way, but 
it shouldn't be causing you problems unless your install is somehow 
strange - this working for lots of people, I assume.

main = Environment(tools=[
         'default', 'git', TempFileSpawn, EnvDefaults, MakeActionTool,
         ConfigFile, AddLocalRPATH, SwitchingHeaders, TagImpliesTool, Blob
     ])

main.Tool(SCons.Tool.FindTool(['gcc', 'clang'], main))
main.Tool(SCons.Tool.FindTool(['g++', 'clang++'], main))
