scons CacheDir race

I'm running into following errors while using CacheDir and running parallel jobs:

scons: *** [.....] AttributeError : 'EnvironmentError' object has no attribute 'strerror'
scons: warning: Please upgrade your cache by running  scons-configure-cache.py /home/xxxx/.build_cache
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner

It happens only if the cache directory does not exist. I think the same problem is described also here: http://bugs.nuitka.net/issue380

My working solution is to use a simple lock: https://github.com/dsiroky/scons/commit/212fc5e8f35c98808a4275e00091f18d468e80af

This issue also exists on Windows 7 if the cache directory is on a network drive and the host has gone offline. (The bug being the failure to properly process and report the error)

Is this resolved in current master?

Going to suggest this is resolved in current code, as the cachedir and config file creation are protected. We can always repoen or file a new issue if it comes up again.
