I think that is the problem. See below.

The "INFO:simulate[MSVC]" lines mean that CMake has detected that the given
Clang compiler defines _MSC_VER and therefore acts like MSVC and not GNU
(i.e. uses the msvc ABI instead of the gnu ABI).
CMake then assumes that the compiler command line is compatible with "cl".
We have code that switches off this here:
https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/Platform/Windows-Clang.cmake;hb=v3.5.2
https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/Compiler/Clang.cmake;hb=v3.5.2
When all that was written clang-cl was still under development and our
assumption was that there is no such thing as a Clang that acts like
MSVC but is not cl-compatible on the command line.
