[CMake] find_package not finding Threads

[Andrew Brownsword]

I updated to CMake 3.11.0, but still got the same error.  I have gotten around the problem by removing the find_package and forcing -pthread on the C/C++ command line, however this is an unsatisfying resolution to the problem.

The new compiler does appear to be selected correctly when I run cmake.  The run fails when it tries this find_package call:
