CUDA compiles all the host code with the C++ compiler as of version 3.0.

I tried to reproduce this on my Mac with two different versions of CMake and I wasn't able to reproduce your error:

Hum...I guess this is linux specific. Here is what I get from my VM (debian squeeze + backports):

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

  should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower
  if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more
  information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

In case this is not clear the full log is attached as separate file (cude.trace.log). Thanks.

Out of curiosity, can you set the LINKER_LANGUAGE to C after you call cuda_add_library:

cuda_add_library(foo SHARED empty.c)
set_target_properties(foo PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE C )

User was able to achieve desired results without changes to FindCUDA.
