That's  cool, I really like it, and in most cases it works fine e.g
CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKE,
Developer can modifiy GCC flags etc.

In my case I'm making integration with ccache, and distcc, and as you
know all of them are tuned only via ENV_VARS.
Depending on CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, compiler version, OS I would like to
prepare correct DISTCC_HOSTS variable etc.

That is why in my mind setting global make variable is a solution, at
least my brain wouled generate such a makefile:)
Another solution that poped up in my mind is to register this variable
before calling compiler/linker,
Do you know such a call can be configured?
for example:
export MYVARIABVLE=test; cd dir; compiler_call


Thanks a lot for help
