IIRC the warning is there to help new users, especially in cmake-gui,
understand why the generator they selected does not work.  It could
be refactored to appear only if enabling the C or CXX compiler fails.
That way if you use the generator with no toolchain or with another
toolchain that does not need those environment variables it will just
work without a warning.
