Reply file names embed the configuration name verbatim. Reconfiguring
a build tree with a build type that differs from the previous one only
in case (e.g. Debug -> debug) makes CMake write a reply whose name also
differs only in case from the existing file. On a case-insensitive
filesystem the write is skipped because the name already exists, but
RemoveOldReplyFiles compared on-disk names to the just-written names
textually and deleted the surviving file, leaving the reply index
citing a target or directory reply that no longer exists on disk.
Prune reply files by file identity via cmSystemTools::GetFileId instead
of by name, so an on-disk entry that aliases a reply we just wrote is
kept. An entry whose identity cannot be obtained is retained rather
than deleted.

Fix commit 402d72b6c0 (OrangeC: Add support for compiling Windows
Resources, 2026-03-24, v4.4.0-rc1~444^2~1) to work for both C and CXX.

- Separate definition files from object files while reading the
generated input list.
- Add batch bindexplib interfaces.
- Preserve native Windows COFF parsing for ordinary objects.
- Collect objects requiring nm and pass them to one nm process through a
response file. On non-Windows hosts, pass every object to nm.
- Request --print-file-name so single- and multi-object output use the
same format.
- Recognize text, data, and MSVC vftable symbols; ignore known
non-exported types and warn about unknown types.
- Capture nm stderr separately so diagnostics cannot corrupt stdout
symbol records.
Closes: #27995
Previously, when process creation failed, the initialized exit code
remained zero and `__create_def` silently wrote an empty export file.
Closes: #27993
The '--target' completion parsed 'cmake --build --target help'
with a sed pattern whose leading '...' matched any three
characters, so the header line yielded a bogus 'following'
candidate. Anchor the pattern to literal dots.
Also note in the user-interaction guide that 'make' target
tab-completion is provided by the external bash-completion
package, which may hide the plain '<target>' name when a
'<target>/fast' variant exists, and recommend
'cmake --build --target' completion instead.
Fixes: #27873
Since commit cb616d43d6 (FortranCInterface: Fix failure with gfortran 12
and Clang, 2022-05-16, v3.23.2~10^2) we add LTO flags for C symbols when
using the GNU C compiler. However, they are only needed when detecting
mangling of the GNU Fortran compiler, as was originally written in
commit 6a0ce19ce1 (FortranCInterface: Fix compatibility with GCC
gfortran 12 LTO, 2022-01-19, v3.22.2~5^2).
