CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME should specify the target OS, not the host OS. For cross-compilation to x64, this should be set to the target operating system (e.g., Linux, Windows) rather than Darwin which is the host.

Suggested change
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Darwin) # Host OS
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Darwin) # Target OS (macOS)
