Upon closer inspection of bad_build_dir content I see this file: bad_build_dir/CMakeFiles/CompilerIdC/CMakeCCompilerId.o That means extraction from "a.exe" failed and CMake fell back to trying the compiler with the "-c" option. That produced the .o from which the compiler id was extracted. Let's verify that by testing info.cmake in bad_build_dir/CMakeFiles/CompilerIdC and reading "CMakeCCompilerId.o" instead of "a.exe". Again please report the output from both builds of CMake.
