[#MDEV-19981] CMake with Ninja generator fails to create directory in support-files/

When compiling the server with ninja, the step to create the SELinux module fails because of a missing directory (mariadb-pp.dir).
Leaving off the -G option and compiling with conventional make the missing directory gets created by cmake and the module gets created as expected. A directory listing is provided below.
When creating the directory before starting compilation with ninja, the SELinux module gets created without a problem.

Error

[1/1] Generating mariadb.pp

FAILED: mariadb.pp

cd /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files && /usr/bin/checkmodule -M -m /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/policy/selinux/mariadb.te -o /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/CMakeFiles/mariadb-pp.dir/mariadb.mod && /usr/bin/semodule_package -m /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/CMakeFiles/mariadb-pp.dir/mariadb.mod -o /home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/mariadb.pp

/home/vmuser/mariadb/mariadb-10.4.6/support-files/CMakeFiles/mariadb-pp.dir/mariadb.mod: No such file or directory

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Reproduction

tar xf mariadb-10.4.6.tar.gz # (via https://downloads.mariadb.org/mariadb/10.4.6/#os_group=source)

cd ./mariadb-10.4.6/support-files

cmake . -Wno-dev \

        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/mariadb \

        -DINSTALL_SUPPORTFILESDIR=share/mariadb \

        -G Ninja

ninja

I noticed the problem first when I compiled mariadb-server. But I reduced the instructions to reproduce the error.
The error remains identical.

Bug History

The code in the CMakeLists.txt was first introduced in c1a23cd4e5f9.
The error was first introduced in mariadb-10.1.21.
