Apparently the approach in FindGLUT does not work with the latest Mac build
tools, the file referenced is no longer a symlinks to the library but a
text metadata file, as I'm told by a Mac contributor to an open source
project I maintain. I was under the impression that it was a known issue,
perhaps it was not filed yet as a bug.  (cf.
https://github.com/OSVR/OSVR-Core/pull/232#issuecomment-147109322 )
