No, because the variable values are "all gone" after CMake finishes
running. And the custom build targets do not run until later at build
time.

Running a script is probably the right approach. Perhaps you could
write out a file at CMake configure time that contains sufficient
information that your script could read at build time.

It might not be easy, but it should be possible.
