+-------
+
+Utility targets may not have link dependencies
+
+CMake 2.8.12 and lower allowed using utility targets in the left hand side
+position of the :command:`target_link_libraries` command. This is an indicator
+of a bug in user code.
+
+The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore attempts to set the link
+libraries of utility targets. The NEW behavior for this policy is to
+report an error if an attempt is made to set the link libraries of a
+utility target.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0.0. CMake version
+|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
+the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
