Markus,
perhaps I was too sloppy in describing my work around. I am describing it
for cmake; it should go similar for autotools.
The key ingredient - other than PTP synchronized projects - is that
I disregard any genuine cmake (or autotools) support. I am rather
configuring my project as an ordinary Makefile project, but then
specify a wrapper shell around cmake and make as external make
command.
Then, for each (remote) build host, prior to each build, the build process
for PTP synchronized projects loads the required modules (including cmake)
and runs cmake/configure and build on the (remote) build host.
The wrapper script is a bit more involved as just "cmake &&make", as it tries
to decide automatically, whether only make or cmake && make should be called.
It is clearly a work around, but it is doing precisely what I want. In
particular, cmake is called on the (remote) build host whenever I want it to
be called --- not just once to create the Makefiles.

As noted by Greg Watson in an earlier post, the way to go for official
support is by filing a bug report. I will do that for the cmake side, as soon
as I have some free cycles for that.
