CMake does not do " Performing build step for 'build_lzma'". That's what make would do.

It is building 3rd party external project or deprecated (by upstream) 3rd party storage engine. Nothing is using autotools in MariaDB, except deprecated third party engine. I think it makes sense to complain at the right address. Percona is the maintainer of that code.
