[cmake-developers] Build warnings for CMake 3.12.2

[Alan W. Irwin]

For g++ version 8.0.2 from Debian Buster, I
recently noticed the following (bootstrap) build warnings for CMake-3.12.2:

/home/software/cmake/cmake.git/Source/CursesDialog/cmCursesLongMessageForm.cxx:50:10: warning: ‘char* strncpy(char*, const char*, size_t)’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]
[...]
/home/software/cmake/cmake.git/Source/CursesDialog/cmCursesLongMessageForm.cxx:50:10: warning: ‘char* strncpy(char*, const char*, size_t)’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]

I have no clue whether these build warnings signal a CMake issue that
should be addressed or ignored.
