Summary0015248: When cross compiling, "make install" invokes target "cmake" instead of host version
DescriptionCrosscompilation goes smooth up to "make install" step where it fails:

 bin/cmake: 1: bin/cmake: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

it is trying to invoke cross compiled cmake instead of the version available for the host machine.

The problem can be workarounded replacing "make install" with "cmake -P cmake_install.cmake"
Steps To ReproduceI've run into the problem while crosscompiling cmake in buildroot (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/ [^]) for arm.
The build process invokes bootstrap:

        LDFLAGS="$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)" \
        CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" \
        ./bootstrap --prefix=$(TARGET_DIR)/usr \
            --parallel=$(PARALLEL_JOBS) -- \
            -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" \
            -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$(TARGET_CXXFLAGS)" \
            -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)" \
            -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="$(TARGET_CC)" \
            -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="$(TARGET_CXX)" \
            -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="NEVER" \
            -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" \
            -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="ONLY" \
            -DBUILD_CursesDialog=OFF

then "make" and finally "make install"

 This is due to logic here:

 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmGlobalGenerator.cxx;hb=v3.0.2#l2402 [^]

originally added here:

 When building CMake itself, use the new cmake to install so that the current cmake can be overwritten.
 http://www.cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=94847d0a [^]

Clearly this should not be done when cross-compiling.

 Please try this fix:

 Do not use just-built CMake to install itself when cross-compiling
