This bug is not even confirmed yet. 
MySQL with CMake is tested on OSes that have lib64 and on those that have not,  on HPUX and AIX , on OSX , FreeBSD, and on Windows,
and sure it was tested in different Linuxes, and for some hardware combinations. We did not find anything suspicious, it built on
every platform , including rare ones like OS400.  But if you find that building MySQL with CMake  does not work for you on your
platform, we'll definitely take a look.
