Description
per: https://github.com/dotnet/linker/blob/main/src/analyzer/README.md
it seems like this should work for .net SDK style projects but I am having no luck.
I created a simple repro test case and built it using
`msbuild /p:_TrimmerDumpDependencies=true /p:Configuration=Release /t:Rebuild`
but no linker xml file is generated. Attached is the project and the build output.

Research direction
Start with src/analyzer/README.md and reproduce the report using the attached LinkerAnalyzerFail.zip and the stated msbuild command. Compare the build output with the expected linker-dependencies.xml behavior; done means the Windows SDK-style project generates that XML file.
