MariaDB, is building the source exactly the same as mysql

Question

Question, is building the source exactly the same as mysql? Meaning, if I build it with set CMAKE options building mysql, can I use those exact same options building mariab?

eg:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DINSTALL_INCLUDEDIR=include/mysql
-DINSTALL_LIBDIR=lib/mysql -DMYSQL_USER=mysql
-DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/var/run/mysql.sock
-DMYSQL_DATADIR=/var/lib/sql/data -DWITH_DEBUG=0 -DWITH_SSL=system
-DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1
