The following tests FAILED:
 	 40 - autotest_gdrivers (Failed)
 	 43 - autotest_osr (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

and these are the tests patched in 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/commit/49ef64108b6875e5b90a4fb6cadd089e84fe53c1 
- details added to gist.

The logic in CMakeLists.txt at line 371 looks OK:

if (NOT BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
     set(DEFAULT_EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES ON)
else()
     set(DEFAULT_EMBED_RESOURCE_FILES OFF)
endif()

but in the default shared library case turns the embedding option on 
silently.
