Support _incremental_ CMAKE_AR_FLAGS / CMAKE_RANLIB_FLAGS
There doesn't to be any way to "tune" the existing CMAKE_${lang}_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY
commands that generate libfoo.a
files. The only to add a new flag like for instance "-D" seems to be:
- reverse engineer what flags and/or commands CMake uses by default
- redefine the entire CMAKE_${lang}_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY command or the CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_CREATE one or CMAKE_C_ARCHIVE_FINISH - not even clear which one is/are best.
- Pray a future CMake version doesn't break it
Example: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/17495/files
foreach(lang ASM C CXX)
# GNU ar always updates the index: no need for CMAKE_RANLIB
SET(CMAKE_${lang}_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY
"<CMAKE_AR> qcD <TARGET> <LINK_FLAGS> <OBJECTS>")
