Yeah, but AFAIK the stuff it's trying to write doesn't normally happen on every `make install`, it only happens when part of the CMake framework changes and it determines that it has to "reconfigure" and produce a new cache.  You should be able to look further down in the output that got clipped out of your last email and see the "build summary" outputs?  That should be a signal that this is what's occurring.

Did something happen between the `make` as user robin and the `make install` as user bro?

I can make the same thing happen if I just stick a `touch CMakeLists.txt` in between those two steps.

I was able to produce the same behavior w/ 2.8.3 as explained above.
