As your error shows they got transported literally from an end of line into
a c++ header. Which part in the build process would need to be fixed I
don't know, I'd start searching where the cmake-2.8 value is supposed to
come from and who generates the numbers.

The problem is not so much the compilers (though there could be older
versions which choke on just lf), but some editors still require crlf for
line breaks (try opening a unix-file with Windows' notepad).
