Is your scons source unmodified?
Here's all the tools SCons should be trying to initialize on win32..
        "prefer Microsoft tools on Windows"
        linkers = ['mslink', 'gnulink', 'ilink', 'linkloc', 'ilink32' ]
        c_compilers = ['msvc', 'mingw', 'gcc', 'intelc', 'icl', 'icc',
'cc', 'bcc32' ]
        cxx_compilers = ['msvc', 'intelc', 'icc', 'g++', 'c++', 'bcc32' ]
        assemblers = ['masm', 'nasm', 'gas', '386asm' ]
        fortran_compilers = ['gfortran', 'g77', 'ifl', 'cvf', 'f95', 'f90',
'fortran']
        ars = ['mslib', 'ar', 'tlib']
        other_plat_tools=['msvs','midl']


Are you by chance using cygwin's python?
