This package is dirty because it contains many files coming from some
Sparc configuration, the following files are coming from a previous in-source
leftover:

Makefile
CMakeFiles
cmake_install.cmake
CPackConfig.cmake
CPackSourceConfig.cmake
CTestTestfile.cmake

Remove those files from the source and try
a clean out-of-source build & install:
