I asked on the cmake list and they pointed here:

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.8/policy/CMP0002.html

So having the same target name below different project names in one bigger build
system is a bug. Technically I would feel fine to just ignore the issue, but
then I will keep getting bug reports about broken cmake projects going forward.
There seem to be a lot of those out there:-).
