Not sure how the build is supposed to account for all possible languages used by the toolsets such that it can determine what the version is ?? In other languages the word "version" may not even appear. Doesn't this compiler have some flag to print the version? (Obviously it didn't in the past hence the code but maybe it does now?)
Nah, this is Microsoft tools. They are just plain weird. Version information is printed as a side effect, but it looks like the string Francis posted (only I haven't seen it in French before).
I don't know how to solve this in JDK7, but for JDK8 there's a simple fix to help configure handle this. I opened https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025933 for that. Hopefully we won't have to support many more languages than French. Most other locales are slightly more pro-English. :-)
