cmake Google benchmark producing error: <TARGET_OBJECTS:donotoptimize_assembly_test>

[daher...@gmail.com]

1. Description

I am trying to install [google benchmark][1] on my machine:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

I followed the steps that are described in the google benchmark git repository.

$ git clone https://github.com/google/benchmark.git
$ git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git benchmark/googletest
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ../benchmark
$ make
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. cmake Error

The problem is that when I run `$ cmake ../benchmark` **version 3.5.1** it produces the following which is turn is affecting the make in the end. Is there something that I am missing. I followed the steps to the letter?

@EricWF: this looks related to your assembly tests... might we have a missing dependency check?

There are no bad ideas; only good ideas that go horribly wrong.
