Summary:                    When cross compiling, "make install" invokes target
"cmake" instead of host version
Description: 
Crosscompilation goes smooth up to "make install" step  where it fails:

 bin/cmake: 1: bin/cmake: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

it is trying to invoke cross compiled cmake instead of the version available for
the host machine.

The problem can be workarounded replacing "make install" with "cmake -P
cmake_install.cmake"

Steps to Reproduce: 
I've run into the problem while crosscompiling cmake in buildroot
(http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) for arm.
The build process invokes bootstrap:

		LDFLAGS="$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)" \
		CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" \
		./bootstrap --prefix=$(TARGET_DIR)/usr \
			--parallel=$(PARALLEL_JOBS) -- \
			-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" \
			-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="$(TARGET_CXXFLAGS)" \
			-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="$(TARGET_LDFLAGS)" \
			-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="$(TARGET_CC)" \
			-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="$(TARGET_CXX)" \
			-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="NEVER" \
			-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" \
			-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="ONLY" \
			-DBUILD_CursesDialog=OFF 

then "make" and finally "make install"
