Do not add flags to export symbols from executables without the :prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS target property.

CMake 3.3 and below, for historical reasons, always linked executables on some platforms with flags like -rdynamic to export symbols from the executables for use by any plugins they may load via dlopen. CMake 3.4 and above prefer to do this only for executables that are explicitly marked with the :prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS target property.

The OLD behavior of this policy is to always use the additional link flags when linking executables regardless of the value of the :prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS target property.

The NEW behavior of this policy is to only use the additional link flags when linking executables if the :prop_tgt:ENABLE_EXPORTS target property is set to True.
