Thanks. Ok one step back. What we want is to have the same relative path
from binary/executable to linked library in build and install tree (which
we assume is the same for us). Looks like by default, e.g. cmake 3.9, puts
in an absolute path. The current (c-)makefiles compute the relative part of
an executable -> library by using LOCATION and add this to
-Wl,-rpath=$ORIGIN/[relative part]. We want to do the same w/o LOCATION
(i.e. resolving CMP0026)
