Description

Still narrowing in on the exact issue, but I think this is something we should resolve in BLT's copy of gtest.

Here are more details:

Research direction

Start by reading the linked Conduit pull request and the simpler CMake object-library example to identify the Windows static-build failure. Then inspect BLT's copy of gtest and reproduce the pure-C library case; done means the example builds and links correctly in the affected configuration.
