Summary:                    CMAKE_LINKER in toolchain file containing a + breaks
regex
Description: 

With a toolchain file like this:

 set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)

 set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER
"/home/stephen/rpi/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc")
 SET(CMAKE_LINKER      
"/home/stephen/rpi/gcc-4.7-linaro-rpi-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++"    
CACHE PATH "Linker Program")

  RegularExpression::compile(): Nested *?+.
 RegularExpression::compile(): Error in compile.
