I've applied the patch here:

 Watcom: Drop symfile linker option
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=6b63942e

and merged it to 'next' for testing.  I plan to merge this for
the next 3.1 release candidate if it is clean.  The change in
default behavior for linker symbols from 3.0 was not intended.

For those that really want the separate symbols file they can
set the CMAKE_*_LINKER_FLAGS_DEBUG cache entries themselves.
We do not need it in the default link flags.

Thanks,
-Brad
