Hi,
Actually you can do something like this:
set_property(GLOBAL TARGET target1, target2, ...
PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELWITHDEBINFO
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/relwithdebinfo)

or for each target set_target_properties(target PROPERTY RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_RELWITHDEBINFO
${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/relwithdebinfo)

Hope, it helps
