I would have thought it been sensible to make SCons compatible with GNU make, and not require its cmake to work optimally. I would not be surprised if switching to 'cmake' instead of the GNU make does not cause problems elsewhere. But to me, it seems SCons sends the wrong flags to the compiler. Even if you force it too use the right compiler, it mixes up the flags. I'd rather control the flags myself, not have some program insert them unless it can do it properly. Which I am not convinced SCons can with Sun Studio. In short, it seems a mess to me.
