Bug Description

While debugging the platform-api sensor failure in https://code.launchpad.net/~thomas-voss/platform-api/expose_accuracy_and_service_status_to_platform/+merge/203298 I noticed that the crucial difference was that in that MP platform-api suddenly got built with g++4.8 although debian/rules says

  export CXX=g++-4.7

(Likewise with CC=gcc-4.7, but platform-api doesn't use that).

It seems the recent cmake changes broke this. Surprisingly, this still works as intended:

  mkdir obj
  cd obj
  CXX=g++-4.7 cmake ..

but not in the way dh_auto_* handle that.
