This looks like a Clang-based compiler named `tricore`? Is that [from HighTec](https://hightec-rt.com/en/products/development-platform)? I suspect that CMake might need to understand how to use this compiler; are toolchains freely available? If not, it would be greatly appreciated if nightly builds could be provided using the toolchain so that support can persist once implemented.

HighTec is a commercial compiler. For the Tricore architecture, it is based on GCC.

This is an embedded compilation, so a [toolchain](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling-toolchain) needs to be set up. With `set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Generic)` et al, there should be no problem.
