This option is not fully implemented or supported.  The documentation
says that it does not fully work:

 http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/CMAKE_USE_RELATIVE_PATHS.html

CMake is not intended to generate re-locatable or re-distributable
build files.  If you *really* need them then you can use
-DCMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION=1 and post-process the generated
files to fix paths.
