I guess we might be able to, but I guess `_CMAKE_FEATURE_DETECTION_TARGET_TYPE` is undocumented and shouldn't be used outside of cmake's own modules?

Oh, nice.

Hmm, I see that the new shared files in `llvm-project/cmake` seems to have stuck around without being reverted for a while now, so I guess I could add the new ones directly there, with `llvm_` prefixes, as I'd need to use them in `llvm-project/runtimes` directly in the next patch anyway.


================
Comment at: libunwind/cmake/Modules/EnableLanguageNolink.cmake:6
+  # linking may fail.
+  set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE_ORIG ${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE})
+  set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE STATIC_LIBRARY)

Sounds good, especially as this is a macro. I'm wondering if it'd be better to use a different name to avoid potential clashes with the internal variable though...


================
Comment at: libunwind/cmake/Modules/EnableLanguageNolink.cmake:9
+  enable_language(${ARGV})
+  set(CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE ${CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE_ORIG})
+endmacro()

Yes, that's a good idea.
