Error when building TEB local planner: "Target 'tf' of type EXECUTABLE may not be linked into another target"

edit

When building the latest version of teb_local_planner in ROS Kinect from source, I get the following error:

CMake Error at teb-local-planner/CMakeLists.txt:197 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "tf" of type EXECUTABLE may not be linked into another target.  One
  may link only to STATIC or SHARED libraries, or to executables with the
  ENABLE_EXPORTS property set.


CMake Error at teb-local-planner/CMakeLists.txt:208 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "tf" of type EXECUTABLE may not be linked into another target.  One
  may link only to STATIC or SHARED libraries, or to executables with the
  ENABLE_EXPORTS property set.

Cheking the CMakeLists.txt file, lines 197 and 208 correspond to target_link_libraries() directives; when checking the value of ${catkin_LIBRARIES} I do see a reference to the tf executable.

Why is catkin adding the tf executable to the libraries variable?

Edit: I'm running ROS Kinetic on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) and Intel notebook, with cmake 3.5.1 and gcc 5.4.0.
