Summary0015857: Symbols from *.obj's from an OBJECT lib are not exported when included in a SHARED lib when using WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS
DescriptionThe setup is a program and two libraries.

Library 'bar' is an 'OBJECT' library.

Library 'foo' is a 'SHARED' library that includes the 'TARGET_OBJECTS' from bar in its sources.

Executable 'main' links to 'foo', and calls a function that should be exported from 'bar'.

'main' fails to link due to not finding the symbols from 'bar'.
Steps To ReproduceExtract attached zip.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
cmake --build .

Expected succesful linking.

Actually 'main' executable fails to link with missing symbol from 'bar' lib.
Additional Information
Tested on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64.
