A shot in the dark…
What are the line endings of the files (LF [UNIX/Mac], CR [legacy Mac], CRLF
[Windows/Internet protocols]), and how are they set in the Text Editing panels
of the Preferences window in the respective machines?
Inconsistent line endings have confused Xcode in the past, particularly for
line numbering and live parsing, so the theory comes to mind.
Also, have you looked at the preprocessor output for those files? Get one for
an .m file that leads to the error messages.
