Right, I hadn't thought of that, to be honest. If I understand correctly, you're saying the codegen targets will be compiled to the target arch, and then can't be run on the machine doing the compiling?

I think one solution might be to use target_compile_options() which lets you specify flags per target (instead of globally), assuming you're passing flags to specify the target architecture.

That only works if it's mostly the same compiler, unfortunately. They could be completely different executables, calling conventions, etc. I don't know why CMake still has such a huge hole in its feature set, but it's quite unfortunate.
