Summary: cmake fails to build → cmake fails to build in presence of elf.h

Please remember to Cc (or assign to) the maintainer, if any.

It seems the build fails, because you have /usr/include/elf.h on your system, but that file doesn't contain what CMake expects it to contain. Since Apple systems do not use ELF as binary format, building ELF support into CMake is probably wrong. On my system, the relevant test fails (because /usr/include/elf.h doesn't exist): 

:) clemens@cSchlepptop:/opt/dports/devel/cmake$ port log | grep elf.h
-- Looking for elf.h
-- Looking for elf.h - not found

So, who- or whatever put this file in /usr/include should not have done so. /usr/include is Apple land and should not be modified by anybody but Apple. Move the file aside or delete it, clean and retry.
