Bill already fixed the bug in the Dyninst 8.2 branch.  I'm guessing that 
Jim's just running with a Dyninst that's a month or two behind.
I believe the bug was that Dyninst's cmake files used LINK_PRIVATE if the 
cmake version was >= 2.8.  Except LINK_PRIVATE became a feature in CMake 
2.8.7.  So if one tried to build Dyninst with a cmake version >= 2.8.0 and 
< 2.8.7 it threw this error.
