Unknown changes to what? Made by whom?

If that example file is the commented configuration file in
wpa_supplicant distribution, it may include configuration for EAP types
that are not included in the build.

Have you built wpa_supplicant with CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG=y in .config?
That would remove more detailed error messages from configuration file
parsing.

Of course configuration file parsing will fail if you try to read
something that is not in valid format..
