CMake recognizes the ".def" extension automatically.  Don't mark it with
the EXTERNAL_OBJECT property because that tells CMake to treat it as an
external .obj file. If you remove that mark do things work correctly?
I just removed that property from the gcc build. Now with both MSVC and gcc builds I get

ninja: ERROR: 'foo.def', needed by 'bar.dll', missing and no known rule to make it.

If I revert the commit I mentioned before, it works and the def file is handled correctly.

Regards,
Amine.
