When I needed cmake on gcc119, I installed a private copy of cmake-3.12.0-rc2 as
follows:

  ./bootstrap --prefix=$HOME/sw/cmake --parallel=10 --verbose CC=gcc CXX=g++ CFLAGS=-maix64 CXXFLAGS=-maix64 LDFLAGS=-Wl,-bbigtoc
  gmake -j10
  gmake test
  gmake -j4 install

(This doesn't fill your request, but I'm conveying these facts in case they help
you or someone who does fill it.)

I did no special testing beyond "gmake test".
