CMake chose the default target architecture of your compiler so
if the default target ofthe compiler is 64bits no need for special flags.

To be more clear:

  If I compile some code on a 32bits host the compiler
  (C, Fortran or whatever) usually produce 32bits binaries

  If I compile some code on a 64 bits host the compiler
  (C, Fortran or whatever) usually produce 64bits binaries

So CMake detect the compiler (C; Fortran, ...) and do not care
about 32/64 bits issue.

Now if YOUR code as 32/64 bits specific zone then you need an appropriate
macro whose definition may be done by you (in CMakeLists.txt) by testing
the value of CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P.

Now some platform like Mac OS support multi-arch binaries and if you
crawl the mail archive you'll find discussion about that.
