triton should be compatible with cmake 4

[LunNova]

triton's pyproject.toml currently pins cmake to <4

triton/pyproject.toml

Line 2 in 73afd00

requires = ["setuptools>=40.8.0", "cmake>=3.20,<4.0", "ninja>=1.11.1", "pybind11>=2.13.1"]

It would be nice if this pin could be relaxed. In nixpkgs triton builds fine with CMake 4, so we're likely to carry a patch to relax this in the short term as we're bumping CMake ahead of NixOS 25.11 Xantusia's release.

I'm not immediately opening a PR to relax the pin as it looks like this was added recently in #6330 to fix breakage on macOS, and I'm not sure what the appropriate change to make would be nor do I have any macOS box available to try out that build.

Tried it out in #8324 and CMake 4 still seems to be broken.

Log as a gist so it's visible after that github action run disappears.

Key issue seems to be a broken include search path on the macOS actions run on CMake 4.1:

   /opt/homebrew/Cellar/llvm@19/19.1.7/bin/../include/c++/v1/cmath:331:5: error: <cmath> tried including <math.h> but didn't find libc++'s <math.h> header.           This usually means that your header search paths are not configured properly.           The header search paths should contain the C++ Standard Library headers before           any C Standard Library, and you are probably using compiler flags that make that           not be the case.

The CMake 4 change to how CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT's default is picked might be related.
