I've built some hello world size projects and I've built gammaray with qcc with a toolchain file defining it. > Does it follow through try_compile checks and such? If the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_TARGET are set in the toolchain file, that works, because I think the cmCoreTryCompile uses the toolchain file somehow? If -DCMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_TARGET is set on the command line, that is indeed not forwarded. > From a quick read of the code it > does not appear to be completely implemented in that respect. > > Should we revert it for this release?

I have just found another bug in it and pushed fix-COMPILER_TARGET-compiler-ABI to my clone to fix it. On its own it's not making cross compiling much easier, so yes, I'd say revert it and re-add it later along with CMAKE_SYSROOT so that both can be tested together and expected to work fully (along with add- COMPILER_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN in my clone for clang).
