Okay.  I don't know when I'll get a chance to work on this myself.
If you want to try it then look at the code here:

 
https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmCoreTryCompile.cxx;hb=v3.3.2#l477

Instead of hard-coding add_executable one could check

 this->Makefile->IsOn("...")

to see if some boolean variable has been set (typically by
the toolchain file).  Can you suggest a name for the option?

Thanks,
-Brad
