I had same error but it was solved by lower version of scons.
Try it again with scons-2.0.1

I found a solution for this problem, without to need to rollback to an earlier 
version of SCons.

You need to modify to lines in the site_init.py file.

Line 330:

SCons.Script.Main._load_site_scons_dir(
    str(SCons.Node.FS.get_default_fs().SConstruct_dir), site_dir)
Line 450:

SCons.Script.Main._load_site_scons_dir(
    str(SCons.Node.FS.get_default_fs().SConstruct_dir), None)

This defect still exists. I just had to do the same thing to fix it with the 
latest version of libjingle. (although the lines were different). Asking people 
to downgrade to an older version of scons is not a fix.
