[CMake] How to set own linker?

[Martin Kupke]

In my cross compiling environment I have an own Platform folder which 
contains a Generic-dcc file, in this file I added the statement: 
set(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE "${COMPILER_PATH}/dld.exe") and now it seems 
that the dld.exe is used as linker.

My next problem is, that my linker flags are not used.
I tried to set CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS, but this doesn't work.
