Continua 1.7.0.108; A Delphi 2007 project that used to build in the past, isn't building any more

Not sure if this is a bug, but I sure need help getting the situation resolved.

A Delphi 2007 project that used to build in the past, isn’t building any more.

The project has hardly changed, the Continua CI config has hardly changed, but the old build was many Continua CI versions ago (it’s a project that hardly needs maintenance).

What seems to happen is that during 

I’ve put the full output of a GOOD (past) and BAD (recent) build at ContinuaCI D2007 BAD vs GOOD compilation · GitHub

I list these sections of the log below:

  1. The Arguments section (that indicates which arguments go to msbuild) of which the formatting has changed between Continua CI versions (missing quotes, missing /P: parts, etc making it hard to reconstruct the below actual call).
  2. The actual msbuild.exe call with parameters (which does not seem to contain everything in the Arguments section
  3. The Task Parameter section that the Delphi .targets produce during msbuild (which are considerably different: it looks like the new builds don’t select the DEBUG configuration any more as lots of stuff is missing, for instance parts of the UnitSearchPath parameter).
  4. A split of the Arguments section to see what’s different. On the Continua CI side, I’ve removed the _DelphiLibraryPath argument as Delphi 2007 uses the Win32LibraryPath one.
