Summary:                    CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER fails to parse compiler name
that contains a version number
Description: 
Using the following commands:
  FIND_PROGRAM (xcc arm-eabi-gcc)
  CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER (${xcc} GNU)
works as expected.

RANLIB and AR commands are mapped to the same target, namely:
arm-eabi-ranlib and arm-eabi-ar
  
However, when a version is specified:
  FIND_PROGRAM (xcc arm-eabi-gcc-4.5.2)
  CMAKE_FORCE_C_COMPILER (${xcc} GNU)
RANLIB and AR commands are left to the default, host tools (which lead to later
compilation errors)

In this latter case, the _CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX is left empty. It seems that
the compiler string parser is in trouble.


Additional Information: 
The issue occurs whatever the platform (at least tested on Cygwin and Mac OS X),
and it seems it may also occur with CMAKE_C_COMPILER.
