And this is exactly the kind of reply I expected! ;-)

I don't think so...

The toolchainfile.cmake sets CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, which is used to find
the appropriate SystemName module. It means the SystemName.cmake file
can only be parsed after tolchainfile.cmake is.

So, anything we set in toolchainfile.cmake would be overriden by the
settings in the SystemName.cmake file.

Ergo, we're screwed in this case...

Unless we can tell cmake to look for modules in alternate locations.
