Great!  It's always good to try "Cross-Platform Make" on another 
platform.  We'd be interested in the changes you need to make to get it 
working with all the tests passing, and I'll be glad to help you proceed.

In order to fully support the platform, the following needs to be done:

1.) Changes to get CMake to build and all tests to pass on that platform 
need to be made to the CVS version rather than 2.0.5.

2.) A nightly build on the platform should be configured to submit tests 
on a daily basis to the dashboard:

That way we can keep it working.  If you are interested in helping with 
either or both of these steps we'd appreciate the support.  In return 
we'll keep it working on your platform with minimal effort on your part.

This means you are specifying the wrong options for 
CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE in the Modules/Platform file you created.  The 
linker is generating a shared library instead of an executable.  If you 
didn't set this variable in the Modules/Platform file then look at the 
flags used by the setting in Modules/CMakeDefaultMakeRuleVariables.cmake.
