Maybe (I don't know), but you can easily do it in the CMakeLists.txt
file of your project:

project(myproject C)

Since the source code dictates what compiler it must be built with, I think
you actually want to define it like above, and not in the toolchain
file (which can
be used with C *and* C++ projects).

Best regards,
