Nick,

I was a little too specific with the flag to look for in my prior e-mail

The error message you are getting is coming from here[1]. Which used the VECL_STATIC_CONST_INIT_FLOAT_DECL macro defined here[2]. CMake does some try compile to see if this in class declaration of double is supported during your initial configuration when ITK is first built. If it's detected that the compiler supports, then when ever ITK is used this feature is enabled.

Something changed with your compiler, like some addition or removal of flag, which changed the support of the feature.

Hope that helps,
Brad
