Summary0015000: CMakeFindBinUtils always search for install_name_tool even when cross compiling on OSX
DescriptionWhen cross compiling (in my case for Android) from a Mac, CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake searches for a tool called "install_name_tool" required to make changes to Mach-O binaries (which is totally irrelevant to Android dev).
This tool might not be installed (it comes with xcode or command line tools on OSX) and thus CMake will fail to generate a project (it issues a fatal error).

This "error" is so pervasive that some android toolchain files actually ensure that install_name_tool is available just to pass this check.

Fix would require to change the if(APPLE) on line 71 to if(CMAKE_PLATFORM_HAS_INSTALLNAME) which is set in other files when the tool is provided by the toolchain.
