Description

Logic for static linking with hwloc is different on windows and linux. We should try to unify it, perhaps by creating our own CMakeLists.txt based on https://github.com/open-mpi/hwloc/tree/master/contrib/windows-cmake that would work for both linux and windows (and perhaps MacOS on which we do not support static linking right now).

Research direction

Read the existing Linux and Windows CMake logic for static linking with hwloc, then compare it with the referenced hwloc contrib/windows-cmake implementation. Done means providing unified CMake logic that supports static linking consistently on Linux and Windows, with MacOS support considered only if feasible.
