Summary:                    TARGET_OBJECTS do not expand correctly if OBJECT
library had RC sources on Windows
Description: 
The $<TARGET_OBJECTS:lib> is expanded incorrectly on Windows if one or more .rc
files are among the lib sources. The problem is, when an .rc file is compiled it
produces a .res file. But when $<TARGET_OBJECTS:objlib> is expanded all names
are expanded with the .obj extension leading to File Not Found errors.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create an empty .rc file and a trivial C program.
2. Add an OBJECT library that depends on the .rc file.
3. Add an executable that uses the objects from the library.
4. Configure and build.

Additional Information: 
Attached is an example project that reproduces the problem.
