 Just in case you did not already noticed.
Dave seems to be on Windows:
c:\Users\dave\ryppl-test\function-dev\build>cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.9

while you Brad seems to be testing on some unix:
$ cmake --version
cmake version 2.8.9

could be possible that command line arg handling is quite different ?

 >cmake --version

>cmake --build . -- -v
Microsoft (R) Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Version 11.0.50727.1.
...
Invalid Command Line. Unknown Switch : v.
....

This shows that the switch makes it through to the native build system.
