You left out the line before, which would have saved a lot of
speculation:

check_compile(["python-compilation-regress"], ["gpscap.py", "gpssim.py", 
"jsongen.py", "leapsecond.py", "maskaudit.py", "test_maidenhead.py", 
"test_misc.py", "test_xgps_deps.py", "valgrind-audit.py", "gps/__init__.py", 
"gps/client.py", "gps/fake.py", "gps/gps.py", "gps/misc.py", 
"gps/watch_options.py", "gegps", "gpscat", "gpsfake", "gpsprof", "ubxtool", 
"zerk", "xgps", "xgpsspeed", "SConstruct"])
scons: *** [/usr/local/bin/gegps] /usr/local/bin/gegps: Permission denied

check_compile() has been around forever.  I can't see it ever
worked when non-root.  Not sure it ever did what it was supposed to do.

A whole new rabbit hole to fall into.
