[gdal-dev] Trouble building GDAL 3.12.3 on Linux

[Carl Godkin]

Thanks to Seabastiaan's advice, I've rerun the cmake command and now the
"make" gives this for the failing step:

[ 95%] Linking CXX executable test_ogrsf
cd /home/carl/build/gdal-3.12.3/linux64_build/apps && /usr/bin/cmake -E
cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/test_ogrsf.dir/link.txt --verbose=1

Does that help?  Thanks a lot,
