Thanks for pointing that out.  This can of worms just keeps getting worse
and worse.  I have confirmed your ccmake result by looking in the resulting
CMakeCache.txt file where (unlike the cmake result) no reference to
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS appears.

So is the issue some cache problem with language support that is exposed for
both ccmake and cmake-gui, but not cmake?
