[CMake] Doesn't support SHARED libraries during cross compiling using ARM RVCT40.

[jianhua]

The background of this question is that I want to build one BrewMP project, the compiler is ARM RVCT40. 

Original build method is below:
1.  Build many static libraries.
2.  Link them to elf.
3.  Create mod file, final one.

Now What I need to do is to achieve these steps by CMAKE, any idea or support? Thanks.

TARGET myapp.elf
    "C:\progra~1\ARM\RVCT\Programs\4.0\650\win_32-pentium"\armlink -o myapp.elf --vfemode=off  --split --reloc  --ro_base 0 --entry AEEMod_Load .\NavObj\AEEAppGen.o .\NavObj\AEEModGen.o .\NavObj\TeleNavAppUi.o .\NavObj\cpl.l .\NavObj\cis.l .\NavObj\cpf_ui.l .\NavObj\cpf_lbs.l .\NavObj\myapp.l --first AEEMod_Load
---------------------------------------------------------------
TARGET myapp.mod
    ".\elf2mod"  myapp.elf  -output myapp.mod
elf2mod: RelocMod ro-base=0x200  rw-base=0x126040
elf2mod: Created myapp.mod

Hi All;

No matter Linux or Windows, when try to build SHARED library, it will always get the following error message. 
ADD_LIBRARY(hello SHARED  hello.c)

ADD_LIBRARY for library hello is used with the SHARED option, but the target platform supports only STATIC libraries. Building it STATIC instead. This may lead to problems.

My question:
a) Why not support it? Is my CMakeLists any wrong for cross compiling?
b) Is there any method available to support it?

I have searched in google and found the following threat, but after SET_PROPERTY(GLOBAL PROPERTY TARGET_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS TRUE), it still got the same error message.

Anyone who has idea about it please help, thanks.
