[CMake] How to find out the compiler directory?

[Steven Van Ingelgem]

Very true indeed, but that was not the point of me asking the question.

The point is that CMake knows somehow where the compiler is (it's not
in the path), but it doesn't allow me to make use of that knowledge.

For instance I want to use the assembler, but I (as a program) don't
know where it is (I as a person do of course). I know it's in the same
dir as "cl", but no variable tells me where "cl" is...
