Summary:                    CMake cannot be built with LSB 4.0 compilers
Description: 
There are some functions used by the CMake source code which are not part of the
LSB 4.0 specification. These usages prevent CMake from being built with the LSB
compilers. This is undesirable, since compiling CMake with the LSB compilers
would produce much more portable binaries that could be used on most major linux
distributions.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Try to build CMake 2.8.3 sources on a linux machine with the LSB 4.0 packages
installed. You will need to set the following before the build:

CC=/opt/lsb/bin/lsbcc
CXX=/opt/lsb/bin/lsbc++
PATH=/opt/lsb/bin:$PATH


Additional Information: 
I'll try to post some patches as I find workarounds, but no guarantees. Some of
the build problems look a bit involved (eg stuff related to makedev).
