I hit the same issue yesterday here. Using MSVC 2015

The problem is that CMakeLists.txt invokes the C preprocessor by calling `COMMAND ${ERR_COMPILER} -E -P ${BIN_DIR}/_mkerrcodes.h` ... and this won't work for MSVC: The -E switch is "preprocess to stdout" (correct) but it is immediately overridden by the "-P" switch which is "preprocess to file". And indeed, after emerge errors out, there is a file `_mkerrorcodes.i` with the preprocessed output.
