This one should contain the compile rules for this compiler, common to all
targets this compiler supports (so if chc12.exe supports only hc12, this
could also be hc12-family-settings I think).

And here CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR could be the specific target,
e.g. "ASL-productxyz-MC9S12DP512".
I'm not sure we need the "family" level. The compiler file can specify the
rules for this type of compiler (e.g. gcc, iar, sdcc), and
the "most-specific" file can specify the exact switches for the actual
target. E.g. what should be put into ecos-gcc-arm.cmake vs.
ecos-gcc-ppc.cmake ? The final target will probably need its own fine-tuned
options.

Same here.

Oh, indeed. You get "feature not implemented", right ?
I thought not having a rule for these two targets would avoid the creation of
these targets.

Hmm, ok.
