Hmm. What about changing that option to make one sub-directory per
test instead of doing each one in the same temp directory? Or if
try_compile doesn't support that, moving the generated files to a
subdirectory after the try_compile proper has run? That would allow
"normal" cmake building while still preserving the files - it's rather
unexpected behavior to have it do what it does now. Is there a reason
not to have one directory per test in a "try_compile" subdirectory?

It would make a mess if you created a sub-dir per test. There would be
lots and lots of sub-dirs in some projects. Moving the files would not
work because after you move them they would not work correctly and you
would not be able to try the build out. If you want to hack around and
see if you can get some sort of patch that works with ITK/KDE and some
other larger projects, I would review the patch. :)
Basically, it is a hard problem.
