I dont' know if LD env var is supposed to be used at all.

What are you trying to do?
Replacing the linker application while keeping the option of the one
CMake would have chosen?
Seems weird, if you change linker may be you should specify linker
option as well, no?

This looks like "incomplete" cross compiling (see
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling)
or unsupported compiler use.

May be you can explain us what you are trying to do.
and please do not hijack unrelated thread for asking new question.
