How about:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#command:remove_definitions

Another route is to switch from using add_definitions() to using
set_target_properties(... COMPILE_DEFINITIONS ...) with variables
declared in your higher-level CMakeLists and mangled, perhaps with
regular expressions, in the CMakeLists for your assembler project.
