I think this is a bug internal to cmake or the tests it uses.  Earlier in the 
output it claims

-- Check for working C compiler: cc
-- Check for working C compiler: cc -- works
-- Check size of void*
-- Check size of void* - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: g++
-- Check for working CXX compiler: g++ -- works

So it says the compilers work, and in order to check the size of void* it 
would also have to actually run the compiler successfully.

Furthermore, it asks to set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or 
*name*, which interpret such that a base name is sufficient.

So at the moment I believe that the behavior implemented in cdbs is correct 
and the problem is somewhere else.
