This is not a CMake problem.  Your compiler install is bad.

CMake is testing the compile of a very simple .c file and it is not work.

I suspect that a simple program like this:

int main() { return 0;}

will not compile and link with the /usr/local/bin/gcc on your system.

Create the above file and try to compile it without cmake and just gcc. 
  It should get the same error.  I would suggest that you reinstall gcc 
on the machine.
