[CMake] disable compiler test

[Juan Sanchez]

In a distributed environment of C++ projects, with multiple external
dependencies, it is generally a good practice to stick with one compiler
version until all of the dependencies can be updated to the newer
compiler version.

I'm in the process of notifying the guy who cares about these types of
things that our installation of 4.1.1 is lacking and that he should
start testing a newer compiler.  Alternatively, we may just need to
update ld.  Thankfully, 3.4.0 is still our baseline compiler.
