It does not seem to be what you want. You can do it with cmake if cmake would 
offer such a thing or you could do it in your own sources (and thus be more 
general and not depend on cmake). Of course doing in your own sources means 
dealing with compiler specific macros for the various platforms. Also if my 
mind serves well, a lot of projects (popular ones too) require some -D 
compiler parameter (they specifically require the user compiling the program 
to do -DLINUX or -DMSDOS and such). So you could too move this decision up to 
the user if you cannot deduce it yourself using "uname -m" and equivalents 
(if the current platform does not offer them).
