You did check out the druntime/Phobos submodules, right (if you hadn't 
initially, try deleting the build directory and running CMake again)? 
Other than that, I can't really say much – seems like the search paths 
could be off, but Jonathan Mercier recently adapted the build scripts 
for Fedora packaging, so he'd probably be the one to answer the question.
