Build with build-wrapper and SCons hangs on Mac (attempt to build mongodb), while works without build-wrapper. Can be reproduced using

build.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

import readline

$ sw_vers
ProductName:	Mac OS X
ProductVersion:	10.10.5
BuildVersion:	14F27

$ brew info python
python: stable 2.7.10 (bottled), HEAD

This also happens on Linux and Mac in case

test.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("hello\n");
  return 0;
}

$ gcc test.c -o test
$ stty tostop
$ build-wrapper-linux-x86-64 --out-dir out ./test

Seems that this relates to changes associated with ~~CPP-749~~ ( 3962b807b8c6009622917d8e7cf66a9fcbe0300e ).
