It appears that cmake relys on the invoker to determine whether a toolchain is for native or cross-compilation. There doesn't appear to be a reliable way to cmake to determine this itself. So, we've split toolchain.cmake into a toolchain-native.cmake and toolchain-cross.cmake so the invoker can pick the right one. Note that the only difference between them is toolchain-cross.cmake includes two additional lines, setting the CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME and CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR, which, if done in a toolchain file automatically sets CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING to true.
