In case you are using one of the makefile or ninja generators CTest 
launchers might help a bit[1].

Every compile, link and custom command will be wrapped by a command that 
captures the output and command line of its child process.
You still don't get the output of successful commands on your Dashboard 
but full output (not sure if there is a limit) of failed commands.

A random CMake dashboard submission with launchers looks e.g. like this:
http://open.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?type=1&buildid=3450912
