[CMake] How do static libraries get linked in Ninja?

[Robert Maynard]

When I make an example project I see the following link line

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/c++
   -Wl,-search_paths_first -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names
CMakeFiles/example.dir/test.cpp.o  -o example  liblib1.a liblib2.a &&
:

Can you provide a short self contained example so I can try reproduce
the problem?
