i don't believe that libreoffice-4-1 branch is buildable with 2008; only
2010 and 2012 are known to work.

yes that was probably broken for MSVC 2008 by commit
5c0a2940428c5c4b8451ee4e9ce30f0b7739f3c8 and never fixed.

perhaps you will run into other issues too; since 2008 support was
removed completely on master due to the high maintenace effort (uses
different project files than newer versions etc.), there is probably
little interest in getting the 4-1 branch to build; better to just use a
newer MSVC.
