Summary:                    VS 2013 Win64 generator adds machine:X86 link option
Description: 
VS 2013 Win64 generator adds machine:X86 link option which results into a link
error: 'fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target
machine type 'X86''.

When I manually remove the machine from AdditionalOptions, the project compiles
fine.

I tried figuring out from the sources where the bug may originate and my guess
is that "${ARCHITECTURE_ID}" in CMakeDetermineCompilerId.cmake doesn't get set
to 'x64'.
CMakeCache.txt contains the following lines:
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING= /machine:X86
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING= /machine:X86
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS:STRING= /machine:X86

I am using cmake 3.2.1 on Windows 7 with VS 2013 Pro.
My project is generated using: cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" .

Is there a way to force these flags to be empty or x64 so I can workaround this
bug?
