Hi, I would start by playing with
Modules/CMake*CompilerId* and if needed Modules/CMakeDetermine*Compiler.cmake in master branch of the CMake git repo. Presumably part of the problem is that the check for __clang__ is very early. You would need to take care that the older XL compilers still work in the intended way. I may be able to help with testing some things - just not sure I have access to a Power8 with recent XL.
