Some packages test for CMAKE_SYSTEM explicitly[1]
CMAKE_SYSTEM is comprised of CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME and CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION.
It defaults to CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME if CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION is not set[2]
At the point CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME is set to "Linux" CMAKE_SYSTEM is already
constructed. Setting it explicitly ensures that it is the correct value.
This is because we do set CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME twice, in fact:
- first in toolchainfile.cmake, so that we tell cmake to use the
"Buildroot" platform,
- second, in the Buildroot.cmake platform definition itself, so that
we eventually behave like the Linux platform.
We also set CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION to 1, and so the real CMAKE_SYSTEM
value should be set to Linux-1 if we were to follow the documentation to
the letter.
However, for Linux, the version does not matter, and in some situations
may even be harmful (that was reported in one of the commits that
introduce Buildroot.cmake and toolchainfile.cmake).

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
