That project looks active/reputable. This is almost certainly just a false positive. As part of a compiler, collect2.exe will be manipulating executable files which is the kind of thing that looks suspicious to virus checkers. Basically, you'll probably be fine just telling your virus checker to trust it.

Of course, I can't guarantee anything so it's up to you whether you want to trust it or not.

想做开发的话还是不要用360了~

For what it’s worth, the same thing happened to me when I compiled on MSYS2—it quarantined ’cmake’ when I ran the generate command.

You can submit the binaries to VirusTotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) to see the scan results. In the case of cmake it was flagged for making a legitimate remote request to a certificate authority CDN.
