[Bug]: Target "absl_strings" links to itself.

[malytomas]

Describe the issue

CMake Error at externals/cage/externals/dawn/dawn/third_party/abseil-cpp/CMake/AbseilHelpers.cmake:259 (add_li
brary):
  Target "absl_strings" links to itself.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  externals/cage/externals/dawn/dawn/third_party/abseil-cpp/absl/strings/CMakeLists.txt:31 (absl_cc_library)

Steps to reproduce the problem

The absl::strings is literally listed in the DEPS of the absl_cc_library. I am not sure which of my configurations is making this issue surface, but the strings is the only one with this issue, and commenting it in the DEPS fixes it.

set(ABSL_PROPAGATE_CXX_STD OFF CACHE INTERNAL "Use CMake C++ standard meta features (e.g. cxx_std_17) that propagate to targets that link to Abseil")
set(ABSL_USE_SYSTEM_INCLUDES ON CACHE INTERNAL "Silence warnings in Abseil headers by marking them as SYSTEM includes")

I know i have these two changes. I may hove some more changes elsewhere that i am not finding now.
