You specify it with cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/MyARMStuff.cmake ...[other cmake options] /path/to/source. CMake then explicitly processes the toolchain file in a few different places but handles when to do this internally. Basically you write your CMakeLists.txt without worrying much about cross-compiling and you specify the toolcain file to let CMake deal with the cross-compile aspect.
