Looking at some other Guix packages using the scons-build-system, it
seems like the Sconscripts usually take a 'PREFIX' or 'prefix' argument
that should contain the output directory in /gnu/store.
For example:
------
(build-system scons-build-system)
(arguments
`(#:tests? #f ;no tests
#:scons-flags
(list (string-append "prefix=" (assoc-ref %outputs "out")))
------
Which is from the aria-maestosa package:
