Summary:                    CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER got stuck
with bad values
Description: 
While trying to fix some compilation problems, i tried to add
--enable-sjlj-exceptions to CMAKE_C_COMPILER and CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER. This
produced errors saying that the compiler was not found so i changed it back.

Somehow cmake got stuck with those values, which is preventing me from using
cmake. Deleting the cache doesn't work.

Additional Information: 
Running cmake as console detects gcc and c++ properly, but running the generated
makefiles gives the error "/usr/bin/c++ --enable-sjlj-exceptions: not found".
Running the GUI and selecting 'Configure' detects gcc and c++, but populates the
cache with --enable-sjlj-exceptions.
Giving the correct CMAKE_C_COMPILER/CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER values as command line
arguments or cache entries before 'Configure' produces the same result.


>From where is it getting those values?
