This build error has shown up in the past multiple times.  In the last few 
months, one site on cdash had this problem.
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1635763
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1358035
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1335245
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1310837

For the non working build, we get this in the configure output:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1635763
-- Checking whether long long and __int64 are the same type
-- Checking whether long long and __int64 are the same type - yes
...
-- Checking whether C++ compiler has 'long long'
-- Checking whether C++ compiler has 'long long' - no


And a working build gets this:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=1633025
-- Checking whether long long and __int64 are the same type
-- Checking whether long long and __int64 are the same type - yes
...
-- Checking whether C++ compiler has 'long long'
-- Checking whether C++ compiler has 'long long' - yes
-- Checking if istream supports long long
-- Checking if istream supports long long - yes
-- Checking if ostream supports long long
-- Checking if ostream supports long long - yes

It looks more like a sporadic stabilty problem to me.

Also, the bug report mentioned that VS 2010 Express was used.  This particular 
dashboard build is using VS 2005.
