> `list(APPEND variable_that_may_or_may_not_exist ...` is quite fragile. Should someone have `-Dextra_args=X` on their cmake command line then that will be included here, which I don't think is the intent. I suggest adding `set(extra_args "")` above the `if`. This also improves readability because otherwise you have to scan the whole file to figure out that `extra_args` wasn't previously defined.
That documentation is inaccurate. `CMAKE_SYSROOT` can be set outside of the toolchain file, and thus needs to be passed through as is frequently done in LLVM, see for example https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/7ca1bcbc6043b7ab4635f04746d1b9480960e384/llvm/cmake/modules/LLVMExternalProjectUtils.cmake#L261 or https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/7ca1bcbc6043b7ab4635f04746d1b9480960e384/compiler-rt/cmake/Modules/AddCompilerRT.cmake#L650.
