CMake error on Windows for utility target

[PearCoding]

Compiling AnyDSL on Windows with LLVM 16 and RV 16.x branch will fail to configure as target_link_libraries can not be applied to the utility target RVPLUG.

rv/plugin/CMakeLists.txt

Line 12 in bb21dd7

target_link_libraries(RVPLUG PRIVATE RV)

Commenting out the line will allow to proceed as usual.
The framework even works without it. However, this was only tested with Ignis. (Artic and JIT)

The actual error message is:

CMake Error at build/_deps/rv-src/plugin/CMakeLists.txt:12 (target_link_libraries):
  Utility target "RVPLUG" must not be used as the target of a
  target_link_libraries call.

Here is the full cmake output (until I stop it with CTRL-C):

CMake Warning (dev) at C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/FetchContent.cmake:1279 (message):
  The DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP option was not given and policy CMP0135 is
  not set.  The policy's OLD behavior will be used.  When using a URL
  download, the timestamps of extracted files should preferably be that of
  the time of extraction, otherwise code that depends on the extracted
  contents might not be rebuilt if the URL changes.  The OLD behavior
  preserves the timestamps from the archive instead, but this is usually not
  what you want.  Update your project to the NEW behavior or specify the
  DOWNLOAD_EXTRACT_TIMESTAMP option with a value of true to avoid this
  robustness issue.
