Summary:                    target_link_libraries does threats
'-Wl,--whole-library -lmy_lib -Wl,--no-whole-library' entirely as linker flags
Description: 
According to documentation:
If a library name matches that of another target in the project a dependency
will automatically be added in the build system to make sure the library being
linked is up-to-date before the target links. Item names starting with '-', but
not '-l' or '-framework', are treated as linker flags.

-lmy_lib must be understood by CMake as library reference, but it does not,
since my_lib dependencies (LINK_PUBLIC"ed in my_lib project) does not appear in
linking phase of host project
