Downgrading to scons 3.0.1 did fix the problem a while ago but only recently I noticed that it has come back to not doing incremental builds.

…

EDIT after 10 minutes: I am not very sure of what changes I made but incremental builds are occurring for me now. Strange.

If it starts happening again. Add --debug=explain --taskmastertrace=trace.log and post the output and the trace.log file
