Ok, so this toolchain has to be added.
This is probably not too complicated.
Add a way to recognize the compiler in CMakeDetermineCompilerID, and then add 
a file for this toolchain in Modules/Compiler/.
Somehow I assume that this compiler is probably quite straightforward and 
similar to other UNIX compilers.

Hmm, this is in general not supported.
If you really have to do it this way, I'm not sure I can recommend using 
cmake.
The assembler is maybe "das", not "dar" ?

No problem, this can be tweaked in CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake.
