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.
