The 'problem' is that the common.cpp stuff is compiled alone and then
linked to *both* pcbnew and eeschema. You could either:

- Compile twice the common code with different defines/constants

or

- Adopt the same bi(l)u for both eeschema and pcbnew

Anyway I would find a way to completely junk that parameter and
everything related to it (no usefulness whatsoever). I'd vote for the
second alternative since in eeschema there is not a lot of dimension
related stuff (most of it is the sheet handling which is already in
common)
