Summary0012577: CMAKE_SYSTEM_XXX variables should not be modified when cross-compiling
DescriptionThe file Modules/Platform/UnixPaths.cmake always appends /usr/local and other paths to CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH when on a Unix-like system, and likewise for include and library paths.

This prevents setting up some cross-compiling scenarios which cannot be set-up using the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH mechanism.

I think all CMAKE_SYSTEM_XXX variables defined in a Toolchain file should have priority and not be modified.
Putting those variables in the cache does not work either, the variables can still be modified.

Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
