[I found that the vintage of cmake matters: 3.12 and
earlier work differently. Details later.]

I ran into the following issue for CMake 3.12 and earlier
(before 01 Dec 2018 07:37:57 according to freshports) . . .

QUOTE
option() honors normal variables.

The option() command is typically used to create a cache entry to allow =
users to set the option. However, there are cases in which a normal =
(non-cached) variable of the same name as the option may be defined by =
the project prior to calling the option() command. For example, a =
project that embeds another project as a subdirectory may want to =
hard-code options of the subproject to build the way it needs.

For historical reasons in CMake 3.12 and below the option() command =
removes a normal (non-cached) variable of the same name when:

	=E2=80=A2 a cache entry of the specified name does not exist at =
all, or
	=E2=80=A2 a cache entry of the specified name exists but has not =
been given a type (e.g. via -D<name>=3DON on the command line).
END QUOTE

So the setting of LLVM_ENABLE_Z3_SOLVER:BOOL=3DOFF will not work
for CMake 3.12 and before.
