[cmake-developers] BUILD_TESTING when cross compiling

[Geoffrey Viola]

I've been looking into testing the GHS MULTI generator more and want to reuse tests, if possible. In https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Tests/CMakeLists.txt, I see a lot of general purpose tests blocked by the BUILD_TESTING variable. In particular, I'm interested in running the LinkDirectory and OutDir tests.  Should I expect all these tests to run when it won't be able to run the code on the host machine? What is the best way to make CTest run those tests with the GHS MULTI generator and not the default one?
