Odd,  I've had nothing but success using Cmake for cross-compiling.   I use it in a project to tartget Windows (VC++ or MingW), Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, asm.js.  Most likely the issue here is that the packaged Cmake files are just plain badly written. (no offense ryan, but people don't use cmake 2.4 anymore:-D).    I'll work up some fixed cmake files and get them into physfs so it'll work more reliably.

Add all source files as object files, maybe try to guess or steal the -llinkedlibrary flags from a cmake run from a native linux box, and then just compile it using your own Makefile for things.
