I am not surprised. The debug-try compile option does not clean out the
build tree. It is meant as a debugging tool only. It should not be
expected to work. Usually, if there is trouble with the result of a try
compile, you set it up so that only that one try compile will happen and
run with debug-trycompile. Then cmake will leave the build/source files
in the temp directory, so you can try it by hand, and examine the results.
