The problem comes up once in a while. And the argument for why this doesn't work is that you cannot link static libraries into another. Well, then don't, I'd say. CMake knows the names of the object files to link into the final library, it just needs a frame to let the CMake user work with it. One could be a VIRTUAL key word for add_library that makes it just a place-holder for a group of object files: no link stage. When such a "library" is linked to another, well... obvious...
