Description

The patch https://reviews.apache.org/r/57052/ moved the build time and date info out of compile definitions and into a build file. While testing, an existent bug was discovered where the CMake command `string(TIMESTAMP BUILD_TIME "%s" UTC)` is unsupported with CMake 2.8.10. Instead of replacing the variable with the time, it replaces with with "%s".

This is not a Linux vs Windows bug. This is specifically unsupported in 2.8.10. Configuring with `cmake3` does not reproduce the bug.
