In fact I haven't solved this issue. Instead I've only modified
CMakeLists.txt to behave better... Back then, when generating ui_*.h
files from *.ui files, these generated header files were also moc'ed
which was producing additional (useless) files. Later I've corrected
this so less files were to be linked and I got rid of the "input line
too long" problem - on my WinXP. Probably longest input line is
shorter on Win2K.

I guess only workaround is to use MSYS Makefiles - they should compile
things equally.

Hmm... won't adding #include "qgis.h" to qgssymbol.h help? :-)
