Summary0015235: CMAKE_LD_FLAGS from toolchain is ignored by compiler's check
DescriptionI want to use gcc's thread sanitizer. I have toolchain.cmake

set (CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME "Linux")
set (CMAKE_C_COMPILER "gcc-4.8.3")
set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-fPIE -Werror -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -fsanitize=thread -fno-omit-frame-pointer" CACHE STRING "gcc-4.8.3 thread cflags")
set (CMAKE_LD_FLAGS "-pie")
Steps To Reproducecmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../toolchain.cmake ..

/usr/bin/gcc-4.8.3 -fPIE -Werror -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -fsanitize=thread -fno-omit-frame-pointer
CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec3265698553.dir/testCCompiler.c.o -o cmTryCompileExec3265698553 -rdynamic

gcc-4.8.3: error: -fsanitize=thread linking must be done with -pie or -shared

CMAKE_C_FLAGS works, but CMAKE_LD_FLAGS is ignored.

The variable is called CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS. This works for me:

$ cat toolchain.cmake
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME "Linux")
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER /usr/bin/cc)
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-fPIE -fsanitize=thread" CACHE STRING "thread cflags")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-pie" CACHE STRING "thread ldflags")

Within my cmake update the same thing happens close to the described problem above, but happens only on a deploy machine (both debian testing with cmake 3.0.2)
The difference: I use the exe linker flag but the result seems to be the same (as described form brad king)

As this has not been seen on the developer machine yet i played around a little bit with cmake call and make call.
No real solution so far, but at leas a workaround, which seems to work:
1. Trigger the cmake call
2. Touch the Toolchain-file
3. Trigger the make

One line call:
rm -rf build ; mkdir build ; cd build ; cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../Toolchain-file.cmake .. ; touch ../Toolchain-file.cmake ; make VERBOSE=1 # to see if the flags are appended correctly

btw. i've appended appended a few message logouts to determine the current flags. Every of them looks like expected, but the links.txt does not contain any of the assinged values

The solution in 0014066 should address this too.
