There is a typo on the patch:

 SET(CMAKE_ENABLE_NINJA ${_CMAKE_DEFAULT_NINJA_VALUE} CACHE BOOL
-    "Enable the ninja generator for CMake. On Windows and OSX broken" FORCE)
+    "Enable the ninja generator for CMake. On Windows and OSX broken")

[...]

 ELSE()
-  MESSAGE(STATUS "Ninja generator disabled, enforce with -DENABLE_NINJA=ON")
+  MESSAGE(STATUS "Ninja generator disabled, enforce with -DCMAKE_USE_NINJA=ON")

You mention CMAKE_USE_NINJA on the last message, when it should be
CMAKE_ENABLE_NINJA.
