Indeed. Now in order to test the patch on macos, one can depend on
brew's cmake. That's what I am doing.

I recall that a couple of releases before El Capitan (10.11), Lion and
Mountain Lion had a server edition that bundled Postgres natively.
Does this still exist for El Capitan? If yes, moving to cmake may
actually give an argument to those folks to begin to touch cmake and
integrate it natively... But as Apple is a fortress of secrecy that's
hard to tell.
