As designed, TargetSelect.h doesn't fit neatly into the normal way of
arranging libraries. I'd mark it textual and leave it alone.

Alternatively, we could make AllTargetsDescs and AllTargetsInfos and all
the other synthetic libraries in CMake into real libaries and sink the
bodies of these inline functions into each tiny little library. Doesn't
seem quite worth it, though.
