Unfortunately I won't have time to work on tis now.
Moreover I don't have very much experience in cross-compiling env.
so it would take me some to it reasonable.

I let other CMake developers comment on that but I think
"proper" cross-compiling setup with CMake goes far further than
giving the compiler some -march argument.
It may work for very simple CMakeLists.txt but would probably break
as soon as you use some CMake features (find modules, try_compile etc...)

That said may be providing the proper CMake toolchain file(s) may be more
the work of Meego environment provider than CMake itself.

I am not refusing to help but I do not have time to handle that now.
If you want you can file a bug report
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bug_report_page.php
explaining that you want to do "cross-packaging" with cpack,
I'll put the report in the backlog and come back to the issue when
more spare time re-appear.
