Speaking as the author of the offending changesets (sorry!).  I'd strongly
recommend buiding using the xcode generator instead of makefiles on Mac.
This is not the only place we make this assumption in our cmake scripts.

Anyways, for now our builds pretty much assume Mac == Xcode.  In theory,
that'd be good to fix, but I don't really have time to look into it now.  If
there are enough people interested in this we should get a story written for
adding support for the makefile generator on mac, and then I can fill in the
details there for how it should be done.
