I'm at a conference this week so really busy, but it sounds like I may
need to update cmake to the latest version (which is overdue anyway)
if something in the latest gcc is unhappy. Can you provide full
reproduction steps, a source repo or tarball to download? Also looking
into (and posting) the full content of the cmake error/output log files
might provide more information about what the problem is.
Thanks,
Tony
