Failed to compile 'rdkafka' on 'x86_64-unknown-linux-musl' target with 'cmake' version > '0.1.48'

[vigneshs-12]

Issue description

We're using rdkafka in our rust project and it fails to compile on x86_64-unknown-linux-musl if the cmake crate version is > 0.1.48.

On checking this issue, we found that cmake v0.1.49 introduced a change which sets CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME if HOST!=TARGET (which is our case as we're compiling for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl from x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain).

---

Is this has something to do with rdkafka's build script or related to this cmake issue? Let me know if you need any additional information or if there are any updates regarding this issue.

Steps to reproduce

• Set up a Rust project with rdkafka targeting x86_64-unknown-linux-musl architecture with x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu as default toolchain.
• Ensure cmake crate version is 0.1.49 or higher.
• Run cargo build

[jerome-caucat]

I've got the same problem, any solution or workaround?

EDIT: forcing the cmake crate version to 0.1.48 allowed me to build.
