You need two special flags, if I see correctly ?

And these both are really required for building just the most basic
executable ?
Currently cmake supports 1 additional extra argument, then you could do it
like this:
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-gcc "--sysroot=${SYSROOT_PATH}")
You can try if you get this working for you.

Yes, if you set compiler flags or similar things in CMakeLists.txt you should
always put this in appropriate IF() statements, so they are only executed for
the compiler they are intended for (not only when cross compiling, e.g. you
also need different flags whether you are using gcc or msvc).
