[CMake] Dos Line endings on response files when cross compiling.

[Gebhard, Joseph]

On our project we do development on windows but build for QNX.  We use the Unix Makefile generator.

My team added several new source files to a project resulting in cmake generating an objects1.rsp file.  When building after this, we would get an error from the linker, it always failed to find the last object file in the list despite it very clearly being in the binary directory.  I eventually traced it down to dos line ending in the objects1.rsp file.  It was looking for a ctrl+M character on the end of the file name.  After running textto on the file, the project built as expected.

After a little playing around with this we determined that 3.7.2 works fine, but 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.3 all have this issue.

Is this a defect in cmake, or is there configuration I am missing in the newer versions?

To work around this, is there a way to disable the use of response files, or do I have to write a script that executes post configure to run textto on the files?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
