It doesn't have to link.  We can parse the compiler id out of object files.
Look at lines in CMakeDetermineCCompiler that set

  CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID_TEST_FLAGS

We already try compiling with just "-c" to get an object file.  Add the
equivalent flag for this compiler if necessary.  Basically we just try
with no flag, and then with each of the flags listed in this variable.
After each build we scan all files for the compiler id.  If the object
file is there it should work.
