Summary:                    Symlinked lib directories confuse cmake
Description: 
Since Arch Linux replaced /lib and /lib64 with symlinks to /usr/lib, I get tons
of these:

 CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:19 (ADD_EXECUTABLE):
   Cannot generate a safe runtime search path for target Foo because files in
   some directories may conflict with libraries in implicit directories:

     runtime library [libpthread.so] in /usr/lib may be hidden by files in:
       /lib64

   Some of these libraries may not be found correctly.

The issues is that /usr/lib and /lib64 are in fact the same directory, so there
cannot possibly be any problem.

So I guess cmake should take into account in its conflict resolution, whether
some of the lib directories under consideration are actually identical.
