Found it:

Looks like something Bill Hoffman suggested years ago. I still don't
remember why I started using it, it was definitely to work around some
sort of issue. What is the proper, public API solution that gives
identical functionality? Should I be using `CMAKE_C_COMPILER` instead,
and appending to it as a string from my toolchain file?

Thanks in advance.
