Hej,

Just re-read your question to make sure I understood, because I thought in the 
project I currently work in we had those targets, but not the problems. So I 
checked and realised we actually gotten rid of those INTERFACE libraries, 
because we encountered all kinds of trouble, amongst which one is the problem 
you refer to. Another problem for instance, is that INTERFACE link dependencies 
don’t get transferred like with normal libraries. Extremely annoying, so we 
decided the ‘academical’ use of an INTERFACE library wasn’t (nearly) worth the 
effort.

Not a resolution to your problem though ……

Sincerely, Jakob
