OK. The GROMACS developers intended the user to follow normal practice, such as doing the build in user space in the file system, and then installing as root, and installing to somewhere other than the source tarball location. Unpacking a source tarball in /opt and building from there (as root or not) is asking for various kinds of trouble. That (apparently) CMake gets confused by the source and install directory being the same comes under the heading of "not our problem" ;-)
I will try to remember to add "don't install to your tarball location" to the install guide when next I update it.
