[Bug]: Compilation issue on Windows 2022 with Ninja and CMake

[BotellaA]

Describe the issue

I am using the latest LTS 20240116.2. I am on Windows with visual studio 2022 and I use Ninja and CMake to build Abseil in shared library.
I cannot build from scratch Abseil, I have the following message, which does not clearly say something about the error:

[155/170] Linking CXX shared library bin\abseil_dll.dll
FAILED: bin/abseil_dll.dll absl/abseil_dll.lib

Thanks for the help.

Steps to reproduce the problem

I am using ExternalProject_Add from CMake to configure and build Abseil. So it runs cmake with the following options and than build it.

ExternalProject_Add(abseil
    PREFIX ${ABSEIL_PATH}
    SOURCE_DIR ${ABSEIL_PATH}/src
    BINARY_DIR ${ABSEIL_PATH}/build
    STAMP_DIR ${ABSEIL_PATH}/stamp
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp
    GIT_TAG 20240116.2
    GIT_SHALLOW ON
    GIT_PROGRESS ON
    CMAKE_GENERATOR ${CMAKE_GENERATOR}
    CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM ${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}
    CMAKE_ARGS
        -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE}
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE=LAZY
        -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=${BUILD_SHARED_LIBS}        
        -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0091=NEW
        -DCMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY:STRING=${CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY}
        -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE:BOOL=ON
        -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD}
        -DCMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION:BOOL=${CMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION}
    CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=${ABSEIL_INSTALL_PREFIX}
)

I also tried with visual studio instead of Ninja, the result is the same.
Do you have an idea of the issue? It is hard to run twice the compilation on our CI, I would prefer find the origin of the problem.
