OK.  Thanks.  I am no cmake expert.  I merely used this approach to
install some cmake-built software into my home dir, which obviously does
not trigger the problem you observed.

I'm not convinced there's any unaddressed problem here.  For example, I
guess this spec file works:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/mariadb.git/tree/mariadb.spec

As to cmake, I would prefer not to have a build dependency on it too,
but distros do bite the bullet (and some like it) and get the MySQL or
MariaDB package built.
