Can you provide the output in VERBOSE mode, also attach the build trees for the ninja and makefile builds.

The attached files Make.7z and Ninja.7z both contain a build tree before running make or ninja respectively.
Note that the file 'CMakeGNUtoMS_lib.bat' is correctly generated in the folder 'CMakeFiles' in both trees.
If you grep for the filename, you will see that it is used in 'Make/CMakeFiles/library.dir/build.make', but it is not used at all in the Ninja build tree!

Ok, looks like it is not implemented. In the makefile we have:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
std::string cmMakefileTargetGenerator::GetLinkRule(const char* linkRuleVar)
{
  std::string linkRule = this->Makefile->GetRequiredDefinition(linkRuleVar);
  if(this->Target->HasImplibGNUtoMS())
    {
    std::string ruleVar = "CMAKE_";
    ruleVar += this->Target->GetLinkerLanguage(this->ConfigName);
    ruleVar += "_GNUtoMS_RULE";
    if(const char* rule = this->Makefile->GetDefinition(ruleVar.c_str()))
      {
      linkRule += rule;
      }
    }
  return linkRule;
}

That code needs to be put in the ninja generator.
