Well maybe it would help to fix the problem if someone pointed out why this
is a bad idea instead of ranting about things like "you broke the cmake
build" or "well it works fine with rbuild on windows" or "someone broke the
linux build machine again"

I'll fix the issue quite simply. Until cmake is ready, it shouldn't be used
by anyone for development.
If it's still work in progress then it's not part of the official toolset
and should be treated as being broken.
You can't have half of the developers using one thing and the other half
using another.
Everyone working on reactos should be using the same build environment,
which is also the build environment that the build machine should be using.
Anyone who chooses to move away from this environment is more than welcome
to, but any issues this brings are for those people to solve along with the
help of the willing community.
