[cmake-developers] [CMake][PATCH] AIX RPATH handling

[CHEVRIER, Marc]

You are right. I missed this capability.
My first idea was to apply to exec the same approach as for shared lib but I didn’t found appropriate variable: something like CMAKE_EXE_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS
Or may be CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT can be used but I am not sure of the usage of the *_INIT variables.
