The problem is, the last I looked you had to go through elaborate dual linker dances to get PowerPC code and SPE code to talk to each other. I don't know if the tools have gotten better to pave that over, I haven't been tracking PS3 tool maturity. But this is what I meant when I said "quite an extension of scope." Expecting CMake to handle the SPE linker specifics may be asking for quite a lot, whereas I'm willing to bet that PowerPC only code works right now. Can you tell us what the actual PowerPC + SPE linking situation is nowadays?
