I suppose it could be caused by something that CMake generates into
the makefile, but the fact remains: Apple's linker is the thing that
is crashing.

If you have steps to reproduce this, and it happens on other people's
Macs too, and there's something in the Makefile that causes it, and it
can be changed such that the crash doesn't happen ...... then we could
potentially change the makefile generation accordingly.

File a bug report if you have a reliable way to reproduce it even on
another machine. http://public.kitware.com/Bug
