[Gilles Khouzam]

I'm trying to understand what is necessary to make this work. I'll circle back when I find out more information.

Naming the architecture as part of the generator name is a legacy behavior.
See the "-A <arch>" option.

The -T option is indeed the CMake side of it.  I'm not familiar with what else has to be done on the host to make VS understand the toolset name though.

CMake doesn't add any system include directories or link directories.  For command line builds those need to be part of the environment.  For VS IDE builds they are made available by the IDE when running the toolchain based on the options discussed above.
