    Hi there, I have been trying to get latest `main` compiled as static libraries and running into an error in the last 5% of the build.

```

lld-link: warning: ignoring unknown argument '--gc-sections'
lld-link: error: could not open 'libclang_static.lib': no such file or directory
clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
```

specifically: `could not open 'libclang_static.lib': no such file`

Now after some investigation, `llvm-project\clang\tools\c-index-test\CMakeLists.txt` Line 20 `libclang_static` can be changed to `libclang` and the build will succeed. However I'm not sure this is the best approach. `libclang_static` isn't a target as I'm only building `STATIC` not `SHARED`.

I'm sure there is a simple fix for this so will leave it up to llvm project developers to resolve 😸
