The OUTPUT variable is internal to the macro and not documented as holding
anything when the call returns.  A quick glance doesn't tell me why the
value isn't leaking out as an implementation detail though.

You can't try_compile inside a platform file.  It's too early in the
init process because the platform files are needed to generate inside
the try_compile.  You would have to run your own execute_process and
invoke the compiler directly.  I suggest checking the compiler version
rather than testing the flag.  Just checking CMAKE_C_COMPILER_VERSION
might be enough in this case.
