Fatal error while building Simulink model with xPC Target blocks

Why do I receive a fatal error as below when I try to build a Simulink  model with xPC Target blocks using a non-xPC target environment language compiler? 

C:\PROGRA~2\MATLAB\R2011a\toolbox\rtw\targets\xpc\target\build\xpcblocks\adnipcie.c(21) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'xpcimports.h': No such file or directory

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

Stop.

The make command returned an error of 2

The error appears when we try to build using non-xPC target environment language compilers such as 'grt.tlc', 'ert.tlc' etc. In order to build successfully without errors, please go to Model Configuration Parameters -> Code Generation and choose 'xpctarget.tlc' from the browse list as the system target file. 

In case you want to still choose non-xPC target language compilers, the only workaround will be to remove the xPC target blocks from the model.
