It's 2023 and there are still buildsystems, which do not warn about a empty list of source files as input.
If my glob does not match anything, I probably want a warning and not an empty shared library as output.

Dear MS Teams/Outlook, why the hell is every type of email notification being send by a different mail address as sender?
