No, the resolution was to create a local Platform/Linux.cmake:

 http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14602#c35199

that includes the original and overrides a couple of settings.

If the CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is Android then all the Platform/Linux-*.cmake
files need to have Platform/Android-*.cmake forwarding files created.
