I'm also on 2.8.6 (both Gentoo and Arch) and I see the same line, and  
have not had any compile issues.  First thing to check is to be sure  
whether the error is generated by make or by cmake itself (I suspect  
the latter).  You could try "ccmake ." while in the build directory,  
then hitting "c" for configure, then "g" for generate to see if either  
of those gives the error.

Could there be something funny about the value of BRANCH before that  
line?  If it's empty, that could cause cmake to see only three  
arguments, although I don't see how it could happen.
