ISTR some related workaround for this code:

    https://gitlab.kitware.com/ben.boeckel/common-superbuild/blob/superbuild-revamp/projects/win32/patches/hdf5-fix-ssize_t-redefine.patch

but it isn't the same thing (particularly that you aren't on Windows),
but it does indicate that HDF5 has problems with detecting size_t and
ssize_t on 32-bit Windows builds.

What platform/compiler are you building on? Is there any output during
configure from HDF5 that looks suspicious? What happens if you delete
the H5_SIZEOF_SIZE_T and H5_SIZEOF_SSIZE_T variables from the
CMakeCache.txt and reconfigure?

Thanks,
