Thread Exception When Running make clean Via Sublime Build

[BourgeoisBear]

Summary

I have a multi-variant sublime-build file for my project's makefile. All variants work except for make clean--regardless of how I implement clean in my makefile.

Actual behavior

When I Ctrl+B to run my make clean variant, it fails to invoke make at all. It does generate the following error in Sublime's Ctrl+' console:

Running make clean
Exception in thread Thread-5:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./python3.3/threading.py", line 901, in _bootstrap_inner
  File "./python3.3/threading.py", line 858, in run
  File "/opt/sublime_text/Packages/Default.sublime-package/exec.py", line 152, in read_fileno
    decoder_cls = codecs.getincrementaldecoder(self.listener.encoding)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encoding'

Steps to reproduce

1. Use my specialized sublime-build file for GNU makefiles

{
   "cmd": ["make"],
   "file_regex": "^([^:]*):([0-9]+):([0-9]+): (.*)$",
   "working_dir": "$project_path/src/fw-serial",
   "selector": "source.makefile, source.c, source.h",
   "quiet": false,
   "variants":
   [
      {
         "name": "Flash",
         "cmd": ["make", "flash"]
      },
      {
         "name": "Help",
         "cmd": ["make", "help"]
      },
      {
         "name": "Clean",
         "cmd": ["make", "clean"]
      }
   ]
}

2. Ctrl+Shift+B, Select Make - Clean
3. Crash and Burn

Possible fix to exec.py:

Same problem using an OnSave script. Anything that creates output generates this error log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./python3.3/threading.py", line 901, in _bootstrap_inner
File "./python3.3/threading.py", line 858, in run
File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/Packages/Default.sublime-package/exec.py", line 152, in read_fileno
decoder_cls = codecs.getincrementaldecoder(self.listener.encoding)
AttributeError: 'CmdProcess' object has no attribute 'encoding'

Experiencing the same. Anything that creates output generates this error log:

This has likely been fixed at some point.
